Elizabeth Martha Shields and James T. Smith were legally bound in marriage on 20 February 1868. On two census records, Elizabeth indicates they were married in 1865. Since they were of "different races," they likely had a religious ceremony in 1865 and then were legally married in 1868, after emancipation. Elizabeth was a European-American (Scottish, Irish, English, and Welsh). James was African-American and Native American (family history).

James and Elizabeth had the following children: Nancy 1866-; Nona S. 1867-; Corra R. 1869-; Florence (Floss) 1871-1961; Albert F. 1873-; Charles (Pip) 1878-; Gladys 1881-; Pearl Mae 1884-1943.
