About Celia Harrelson
From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Genealogy_of_John_Smith_IV%2C_M... :
Cealey Smith, born 2 January 1739/40 in Marion District, SC20; married Benjamin Harrelson 2 January 1768; born Bet. 1735 - 1740; died Aft. 1840. Notes for Cealey Smith: Dianne Moore has her name as Celia.
More needs to be determined if Cealey Smith Harrelson did not live to be 114 years old as some trees have her death date as 21 December 1854. That is the death date of Benjamin Harrelson's daughter Celia Harrelson Bethea https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/104908925/celia-bethea.

Biography
Cealey Smith is estimated as born about 1740 in South Carolina. She married Benjamin Harrelson.
The 1800 US census identifies Benj Harrelson as living in Liberty, Marion, South Carolina. His household identifies a female 45 and over, likely his wife, which would mean she was born before 1756.[1]
Research Notes
She is also listed in some online family trees as born around 1720-1730 (South Carolina), which aligns with Benjamin's birth. She is also listed in some trees as Selah and/or Selah Commander; it is not clear if this is another wife.
She is also listed in various unsourced family trees with death dates ranging from 1754 to 1802 to 1854. It may be noted that it appears some of her children were born in the 1760s. Also the transcripts of the 1802 will of Benjamin Harrelson refers to his wife as Ruth. Some trees therefore interpret her name as Cealey Ruth, although double names were unlikely in that time and place.
In the 1840 US census, Celia Harrelson is listed as head of household, living in Marion, South Carolina. The household included one male 40-49 and one female 80-89.[2] Although males were usually listed as head of household, if this is the current person than she would have been born 1750-1760, and died after 1840.
