What a great response Debra !

Rev Iredell Tarpley Prevette 1st married Mary Smith (sister of my
Sarah M Smith) d/o Rev Samuel Powell Smith & Amelia Martin
(d/o Robert Martin & Amelia Wright...Washington family descendant)
of Wilkes Co NC.

Mary (nee Smith) Prevette had another sister named Olivia who married
George H Brown . They lived in Iredell Co NC. Do you happen to know
if this is the same Brown family ?

Thanks ....~malinda
