| Biography* | BIG SANDY MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH According to the membership roll it was organized in 1809. Male members who constituted the church were Elijah Hammack, a minister, Jesse Pierce, wife Winnie Lee, Moses Justice, wife Sallie Goodson, Richrad Smith (this may have been Richard Williams), Daniel Hooks, George Martin and Thomas Hughs. Women who helped in the organization were: Alcy Hammack, wife of the minister, Elizabeth Pierce, a widow, nee Roberts, Clarissa Williams, Agnes Smith, widow or wife of James, perhaps nee Culpepper, Elizabeth Keel, Rchael Hooks, wife of Daniel, and Elvina Hughs. Following a dispute over the Missions and Reforms, many of its members went over to the Pleasant Plains and Mount Olive Churches and possibly other Primitive Baptist Churches. Big Sandy has remained in the Missionary Baptist Association and is located in the south portion of the county in a populous community. It is active today (1978).... In Agnes Smith's estate papers, Jessie Ashley and Ephraim Hightower also signed. Jessie Ashley m. Lucye Smith, whose father was John Smith, brother to James Smith, Sr. Agnes was guardian for Lucye Smith after her father, John Smith, died in 1819. Who Ephraim Hightower married, I don't know. It could have been a daughter by either of James Smith Sr's marriages or another daughter of John Smith, brother to James Smith Sr., for whom Agnes could have been a guardian. Nowhere in Agnes ' estate papers does she make reference to Belinda or a guardian for Belinda Smith. John Gilmartin wrote in October 2007 that according to the death certificate for Susan Hightower Millican (died in Hood County, Texas circa 1915), she was the daughter of Ephraim Hightower and Annie Smith."
