I'm researching a Smith family in early Nashville, and wonder if anyone else is working on this family line.

I'm interested in a firm called Young and Green that did business in Nashville in the period 1818-1822. The firm consisted of business partners John Young and Samuel Kerr Green, with associates James Snodgrass and Isaiah Scott.

This firm was the first set of owners of the "General Jackson," Nashville's first steamboat. Later, the steamboat belonged to William Carroll, whom I find in records relating to Young and Green in the 1818-1822 period.

Isaiah Scott drowned in 1820 from the steamboat "General Jackson."

Joseph Smith was the first captain of the "General Jackson." He married Elizabeth Eakins in Nashville on 31 Aug. 1820. He is buried in Nashville City Cem. with a tombstone stating that he was born in 1787 and died 28 Feb. 1837.

John Young was born 22 Feb. 1797 and died 3 Oct. 1876 in Henry Co., where he's buried in House Cemetery. Around 1820, he married in Nashville to Caroline Sommerville, daughter of John Sommerville and Elizabeth Chisholm. Caroline was born 26 Jan. 1797 and died 10 Oct. 1822 in Nashville, where she's buried in the Nashville City Cem.

Samuel Kerr Green is my ancestor. He was born in 1790 in 1860, son of John Green and Jane Kerr. He was in Nashville from around 1818 to 1822, and then moved to New Orleans, where he married Eliza Jane Smith about 1822. Was she related to Joseph Smith?

I have accumulated quite a bit of information on the firm of Young and Green and its activities in the period 1818-1822. I'd like very much to be in touch with anyone working on these families or on this firm.
