Right now It may not come up in a search. I found it by Googling:

Comment by Tj Thomas on May 23, 2011 at 10:27am: Hi Tracie, I have John Smith, born 1818, Insch, Aberdeenshire, and died 1896, Saginaw, Michigan. He married Elizabeth Gilmore (1816-1904) in 1838, arrived in Michigan 1866. I believe his parents are William Smith and Elizabeth Brown. Thank you for the link to your page! I will try to find a connection.
