Event Notes Note (1) Numerous name variations are found in official records. Doddridge Co Birth Records identify him as Harry [sic] Paul Smith Jr., son of Harvy [sic] Smith & Virginia Elliott. But all other public records, including his marriage & death records, his grave marker, as well as his obituary and the death record of his son Terry, identify him as Paul H. Smith. Since his older half-brother was named Harvey Smith Jr., it is likely that the birth record entry was in error.
