Our Alston lines come from the two Alston groups
that had their American beginning in North and South Carolina. Our branch ended
up in Georgia.
The Smith line which has only the one family was originally from South Carolina.
Although I have more info on this line I haven't had time to compile it. And
even at that I have little, although I do know of other family members that
have more.
Much of this is not proven so please use it as information only.
