Parents of Lucinda “Lucy” Smith (Wagoner), 1832–1910, and was her mother named Nancy Golden?

1810 Surry County NC — Genealogies have become blended for the parents of Lucinda “Lucy” Smith, b. 20 Jan 1832 Surry County NC; d. 26 Mar 1910 at Lone Jack, Jackson County MO. Her death certificate show Nancy Golden as her mother BUT it does appear that another name may have been written on the death certificate and then erased. 

Notes – Parry/Perry

There are strong DNA match connections with the Perry families of South and North Carolina. Our Goldens descend from the South Carolina grandparent line of William Nathan Perry, 1748–1829, and Elizabeth Sikes or Lavender, 1750–1825. DNA suggests how we are related to the North Carolina family of William Perry Sr, 1753–1818, and Sarah “Sallie” Johnson, 1753–1825, and several other local Perry families.

William Melton Golden, c1776-1852

William Melton Golden, c1776-1852, and his descendant lines are cousins to our South Carolina William and Nelly Golden — he would probably be a first or second cousin to the Thomas Golden line that moved to Newberry, South Carolina by 1760. Thomas was father of William Golden, c1750-1809. Parents:  William Golden (1745–1810) and Alice Peggy Maupin, 1745–1788. The Maupin family were French Hugenots that came to Virginia pre-1700. First generation born in France, settled in Virginia: Gabriel Maupin (1655–1720) and wife  Marie Hersent (1664–1748).
