MARY Smith 
MARY was born before 1750 in Virginia?.1 MARY's father is Thomas Smith and her mother is Barbara Dunbar Anderson. She was an only child. She died after June 22nd, 1835 in Oakvale, Mercer Co. Virginia.1 General Notes
Thomas Smith's position as the father of Mary Smith is disputed. The source I have claims that the daughters of The American Revolution list Mary "Polly" Smith as the wife of Peter Dingess, and Thomas Smith as her father, and Phoebe Dunbar as her mother. Others say Thomas Smith and Barbara Anderson. Still others say Barbara and William Anderson, son of Elizabeth and George Anderson. (Augusta Parish Vestry Book 1746 to 1780 pgs. 327-328.
