  1. Roxie Annie Smith is buried in the Weaver Cemetery on US 67 in Hopkins County, Texas. The Weaver Cemetery is about a mile east of where US 67 separates from I-30 to go east to Saltillo Texas.

    There are discrepancies between the Texas Death Record and other sources. Place of birth is recorded as Tennessee on the Texas Death Record versus Booneville, Mississippi as reported on a family tree owned by Thompson90 from Ancestry.com. The 1880 census reports Roxie Annie Smith’s place of birth as Mississippi.

    Another discrepancy is the Texas Death Record reports Roxie Annie Smith’s mother as Bessie Johnson. The Ancestry.com family tree owned by Thompson90 reports her mother as Mary Elizabeth Reynolds. The 1880 census reports Roxie Annie Smith’s mother as Bettie Smith.

    Finally the Texas Death Record records Roxie Annie Smith’s place of death as Haltom Cioty which is an obvious misspelling of Haltom City, an inner suburb of Ft. Worth, Texas.

    The 1880 United States Census reports Roxie Annie Smith’s residence at age five as Chickasaw, Alabama. Also her marriage in 1890 at age 15 was in Chickasaw, Alabama. Chickasaw, Alabama was known as Riverton after 1890. The town is now under Pickwick Lake.
