At this time there is confusion about whether Abigal Potts was married to John Smith and William Bennett. Two of her Smith daughter's death certificates list her as Abigal Moad. But, on the 1870 Caldwell County, Missouri census, the newly divorced Francis D. (Fannie) Potts Ross, Abigail's sister, is living with Wiley B. Smith. Wiley was the son of Abigal. If Abigal was a Moad, then Wiley B. Smith would have been a stranger to Francis. Further, the two Smith daughters married Lane brothers who were the son's of Nancy Potts Lane, the sister of Abigal.
