This website has the Social Security Master Death File in a slightly different format. You can click on the year, then click on the day of the month and it will pull up a list (give it some time) of everyone in the Social Security Master Death File who was born on that date.
Of course the Master Death File is not perfect but this is an interesting way to search it.
Go here: http://www.ssdmf.info/
scroll down to the years and choose your year. Then choose the date within that year. I easily got a list of everyone in the Social Security Master Death File born on 27 January 1917.

Those with Tennessee connections may wish to check out this database on the Tennessee State Library and Archives website http://www.tn.gov/tsla/history/places/postoff.htm.
The list is based on records at National Archives listing postmaster appointments from 1832 to 1971 (and was taken from National Archives microfilm publications M1131 and M841).

Just a little discovery for those with Kentucky ancestors.
Indexes to Divorces Recorded in the Kentucky Acts 1795-1850
Divorces could also be at the county level as well.

Have you considered the possibility of transposition errors when searching that online database? Is there any chance that Smith was entered as Smiht?
