This is going to be a quick and simple post to house the link to the book where I found extensive records about the Smith/Snelson/Anderson family of Hanover Co, VA.
Christopher Smith m. Catherine Snelson, parents of Ambrose Joshua Smith.
Virginia Migrations – Hanover County
By Eugenia G. Glazebrook, Preston G. Glazebrook
These Smiths appears to have been related to a John Smith of Gould Hill, Hanover County, Virginia.
I believe the information published in SmithsWorldWide.org group R-M269-8 is incorrect, specifically this tree of Brooke Smith’s (trace his Smith line back to the Smith/Snelson family and you’ll find Smith/Fairbanks and Smith/Townley affixed, in my opinion, incorrectly). I also find that Christopher Smith’s father was a Charles Smith based on the court records. Brooke insists that Christopher’s father was another Christopher Smith and I believe this to be errant.
That is all.

Why do you persist in claiming to be tracing your Smith line and insist in trying to tear my line apart, errant, as a matter of fact, in the process? You’d be best be served in tracing your own paternal line.

Hello David. Thanks for posting. I found our previous conversation in my e-mail. I see I referred you to a distant counsin of yours for further info. I have shared everything I know about your family with her to share with anyone else who wishes to know. If you have found fault with something on my site, please let me know and I’ll try to correct it if I can. Please also keep in mind that this is more of a workspace as opposed to a formal published article or work. I do have some mistakes on here. That said, the Glazebrook book is the authoritative source for your Smith family’s early history into the 17th century. Take care, Chris Smith (no relation)
