- According to Dr. James E. Caraway, a descendant, Elizabeth Caraway Smith of Craven County, Dobbs, and Wayne Counties, North Carolina had a tragic history. John Carroway(Caraway?), Aaron Smith Sr., and Aaron Smith, Jr. were officers in the Revolutionary War. On July 1, 1776, Aaron Sr., Elizabeth Carraway(Caraway) Smith, 3 or 5 younger children, and their male slaves were massacred by the Tories and Cherokee Indians at their home in the Old Ninety-nine district of South Carolina.
Researcher: Mrs. Thelma Landrum discovered their deaths from old GA newspapers that proved Elizabeth, Aaron Sr., a son and a daughter were killed by Indians in SC. Four sons and a daughter escaped with their lives.
