Fran, I have quite a bit on this family, and this Burrell P. Smith born 1852 (age 27--1880 Grayson Co, TX Census) was son of Burrell P. Smith & Sarah (Sally) Henderson lived in Grayson Co, TX..The older Burrell P. Smith died 1859 Grayson Co, TX and buried West Hill Cemetery listed as this (Burrell P. Smith the first Mayor is the first burial in West Hill in 1859)..
I believe there is a mix-up with these Burrell P. Smiths..I will be interested on what transpires with this line of questions....
