FUN FACT: Brothers Robert L. Smyrl and Hugh T. Smyrl are
BOTH my 3rd great grandfathers! They are two of the children of
Thomas Smyrl Jr and Mary Lee Anderson Smyrl.
Robert is my Grandma Lou Clyburn Myers’ great-grandfather on
her mother’s side. He was born in 1807, married Nancy Love, and their child
Mary Etta Smyrl became Etta Kelly, my 2nd great grandmother.
Hugh is my Grandma Myers’ great-grandfather on her father’s side. He was born in 1815, married Margaret McKain,
and their child Mary Ann Elizabeth Smyrl became Mary Clyburn, my 2nd
great-grandmother.
I don’t know anything about my Smyrl, Love or McKain ancestors
– I can see that family history research will be never-ending!
