Hello
I am Susan --Suz-- Cruse. My maternal grandmother was Lulu Maude Smith of Columbus Grove, Ohio. She was the 6th child of Jackson Smith and Hannah Elizabeth Wood of Columbus Grove, Ohio. They, and their 1st 3 children were from Groveport, Ohio. Lulu married my paternal grandfather, Charles Franklin Reynolds and they settled in Lima, Ohio.Jackson's father was William Smith who married 1st Christener Tusing and 2nd, Jane Hanover, Jackson's grandmother. J's brother Adam also lived in Columbus Grove. I remembered most of my Mom's aunts and uncles, but not Adam. I would love very much to know more about those Smiths--where they came from, when to US, etc. but they being Smiths, I have put off looking until I had the good fortune to see this site! If anything rings a bell, I'd be happy to know! Thanks, suz

Gosh thanks all of you but I truly don't know my fathers parents name. The only link would be his mother my grandmother who at the time was married to a "Harriman". Her name was Florence Mae (Allen) Harriman and she was married to Arthur Granville Harriman at the time. I believe that she had my father Harry Douglas Harriman-Smith in Troy New York. This is where her family lived so she went home to have him. Dad carried the Harriman name all the way through school and when he went into the service had his name change leagally to Smith.. So thats why I say New York genealists would be able to help here if they know any Harrimans or Allens..Thanks.Oh my father was born in 1924 in Troy New Yok.

Hello. I am a Smith from MN. The route here was with great-grandfather John James who had moved to Dane County WI from Chautauqua Co. NY and then on to MN after the Civil War. John was born in Tompkins Co. NY and his father, Hiram, was born in VT in about 1812. His mother, Lydia McGowan Smith, was born in NJ about 1816. Hiram is our "brick wall." We are members of Family Tree DNA Northeastern Smiths, Group 3 - Francis of Taunton and Hingham MA.
To help in your researching of James B. Smith, bear in mind that after the Revolutionary War the counties of western Virginia beyond the Appalachian Mountains were known as Kentucky County, Virginia. The area was not a State until June 1, 1792 (and, it was a major source of bounty land for Rev War vets). This might point you more toward Virginia records for help. ---Cheers, Gary Smith

Hi all, I found this Book while in Ancestry that some of you might be interested in. Or just go to your local Library online and thru Heritage Quest you can also see this Book.The Title is Abstracts of Wills 1791-1850 of Rensellaer County N.Y.
And since my father Harry Douglas was born in that county and the city of Troy, I was hoping I could find a link there so I copied most of the "Smith" pages. Check it out..
Hello everyone, Im Bill and i am looking for the parents of Jean Baptiste Smith and Josephte Chenette and any info about them i dont have any dates for them, sorry....and thank you
I am a Smith who married a Smith. To make things even more cofusing, my husband's grandfather Smith's wife's maiden name was Smith. I am looking for information on the Scottish Smith, Alexander and Alexander Roland, who left Scotland in prior to 1911 and settled in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Alexander returned to Scotland in 1913 and married Mary Margaret Macdonald, they then returned to Vancouver where my father, Alistair, Aunt M. Inez and Uncle Callum were born. I am looking for information on my great grandfather's line: Angus Smith, of Ross and Cromarty, Stornoway, Scotland. I am also looking for information on George Smith of Allegan County, Michigan, and Frank Smith and his wife, daughter of John Smith and wife, nee Rabb, of Germany, then New York. I have run into a brick with George Smith, father of Frank Smith, born abt. 1885 in Salem Township, Michigan. Any help with these lines would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!
I am a decendent of Smiths as well on my paternal side of the family. Smith, Johnson, Lawson and Tarbush (Terbush), from around Oklahoma, Tennesee, Kansas, New York, Germany,.

I am willing to share any information on our family genealogy.
My great grandfather was James Elias Smith of Little Rock, AR and his father was Augustus E Smith, of Cincinnati, OH, St. Louis, MO, & Baxter, AR. Augustus was born in the 1820s & served in the 41st volunteer Missouri regiment (Union). Would love to share information to anyone who has run across my ancestors.
Right now, I have 3 separate Smith families in my heritage. One family from Union County, South Carolina (married into my Jones family) moved to Gibson County, Tennessee, then to Independence County, Arkansas. A second family married into my Hopkins line -- Coffee County to Rutherford County, Tennessee -- then to Calloway County, Kentucky. My third line lived in Dunklin County, Missouri -- married into my Morgan family -- lived in Craighead County, Arkansas.
My Maternal Grandfather is: George Elbert Smith Born 14 Jun 1875 Viroqua WI, Died 5 Dec 1955 Winner, SD. His father is James A. Smith (1825-1908) born in Scioto, Ohio. Died in Viola WI. His mother was Margaret Catherine Allen. Born 1 Apr 1842 in Perry, Ohio. Died in Viroqua WI 1 Jun 1905.
Can anyone help me find more of the family? Thanks. Cindy
I am currently looking for information on Elial C. Smith, born about 1822, probably in Ohio, who married Catherine Hamline. The first census that Elial and Catherine show up on (that I have found) is 1850, when they and their children are living in Findley, Ohio. They travelled to Michigan in 1854 and settled with their children, George Washinton Smith among those children, and show up in Salem Township, Allegan County, Michigan on 1870 and 1880 census. I have not been able to find any information about the parents of either Elial C. Smith, or his wife Catherine (Hamline) Smith. If anyone has any information, or ideas, I would be grateful the the help. Thanks!
In a US Census of 1790 through 1840 only the property owner's name is listed, with rare exception. Starting with 1850 all members of the immediate family are listed. Now to look for an 1860 US Census report...and, tragically, the 1890 Census was almost completely destroyed by flame and water.
My Smiths are from Massachusetts, descending from William, the emigrant who settled in Charlestown and died there in 1654 and his son Nathaniel who died in Haverhill in 1692.
I've been collaborating with my "DNA cousins" and it's been a great help! I highly recommend joining the Northeast Smiths DNA group at familytreedna.
I agree completely. Family Tree DNA and my "DNA Cousins" have been so helpful...except I still haven't found my connecting ancestor to our Immigrant Ancestor, Francis of Hingham and Taunton.
Have you taken the Family Finders test? I have, and that is fascinating - but no luck on my Smith yet...
Yes, the U.S. census through 1840 is not particularly helpful unless one happens to be looking for the property owner! Thanks you for the suggestions about Smiths DNA. I'll will look into this.
Smythe is my married name, but I have found that it might be Smith. My husband's grandfather was Charles M Smythe supposedly born in 1861 in Richland county Wisconsin. On his marriage record in 1895 he said his parents were J D Smythe and Elizabeth Williams. I have after years of research found a Charles M Smith with parents John D Smith and Elizabeth Williams who were married in 1844 in Marion county OH. This family is on the 1850 Marion OH census, 1860 Richland WI, 1870 Algona, Kossuth IA and 1880 Elizabeth was a widow on the Wesley, Kossuth IA census. I can not find Charles M on any of the census' with this family, but he married a Lottie Williams in 1886 in Clinton, IA listing parents John D Smith and Elizabeth Williams and another son of John D Smith and Elizabeth Williams married a Lottie V Williams in Richland, WI in 1897 with the same set of Smith parents and Williams parents. I have researched all of the children of this John D Smith family and do not find a Charles anywhere. This above information has too many coincidences. If anyone knows this Smith family please contact me.
I found where George Elbert Smith is buried. There is a memorial for him at Find a Grave. Witten Tripp County South Dakota, USA
Find A Grave Memorial# 70322949
It shos a photo of him and a dog, as well as a copy of his obituary. The page also lists memorials for his wife, Sarah Catherine Smith (1899 - 1969) ,Find A Grave Memorial# 32946667, and 3 of their children:
George Richard Snith (1920 - 1986) Find A Grave Memorial# 68476873, Lake Havasu City, Mohave County Arizona, USA Plot: Blk 2, Line 12, Space 8
Robert Marion Smith (1922 - 1996) Find A Grave Memorial# 70668061, Glendora, Los Angeles County, California, USA Plot: Crypt 4, Lot 1129
Mary Lou Smith (1927 - 1933) Find A Grave Memorial# 59613927. She is interred at Witten Cemetery. A copy of Obituary also on her page. It says she passed from typhoid fever and complictions of it.
Hi: my maiden name was Smith. I have only gotten back as far as my gr gr grandfather Schuyler Ephriam Smith b 1819 in Stanstead Plain, QC m Lucinda Robinson Blake b 1817 in Island Pond, Vt. I think they were both hatched from eggs as I have never been able to go any further back. Most of the family branches lived in the NE area & still do.
Still looking for ancestor Josiah Thompson Smith born 1812 in PA. He's my primary 'brick wall' after 30+ years of research. Lived in Hamilton County, OH 1832-39, Des Moines Co. IA 1839-52, Siskiyou County California 1852-62, Los Angeles CA 1870. Connected with Cummins family in Ohio. It's possible the name "Milton" is associated with the family as descendants carried that name as a middle name. There is info on Ancestry about him, but it is my work (but not submitted by me).
Still trying to find family of Dunham Smith, born 12 Sep 1926 at Mt. Gilead, Marrow Co., OH. 1850 lived at Liberty, Henry Co., IN. 1860 lived in Jefferson, Henry Co., IN. 1870 lived at Athens, Gentry Co., MO. 1880 lived in Dallas Twp., Harrison Co., MO. Died 18 Jan 1895 at Harrison Co., Missouri. I show him married twice; one to Mary M. Rench 22 Nov 1846 and second to Sarah J. Flin 03 Jul 1883. I have his family once they were in Harrison Co., MO but have not found were his son Peter was buried (1855-1959 in Indiana). I can not find his parents. Anyone know anything about this family?
Recent discovery for George Elbert Smith. (1875 - 1955) On his death cert his mother is listed as Louise not Margaret. He was born in Viroqua, WI and died in SD.
I can't find anything definitive on his father, James A or mother Louise.
I am tying to find my grandfather, Charles Austin Smith Or maybe his name was Austin Charles? I know he lived in St .Louis Missouri in 1917 and was married to Cora O. Johnson, Werner (widow of Christ Werner d. 1914)Cora and my grandfather had a child by the name of Robert Charles Smith ( my father ) in 1917. Cora also had 4 daughter with Christ Werner.
I also know he was in the military as my father received benefits from his fathers military pension.
Cora died in 1918 and my father lived with Cora's parent Abner and Nancy Johnson until1922 when Cora's mother turned my father over to the Board of Children's Guardians for adoption. He was never adopted and grew up in an orphanage. What ever happened to Charles Austin?
My Smith surname has hit a brick wall in SW Virginia with James Henry Smith and Esther Kilgore. James was born Aug 1824 and died after the 1910 census. I cannot make a definite parent connection. I am working on documentation to prove the line.
I'm looking for information about my Great Grandfather Daniel Smith. He was born in Southeast Missouri about 1830. He died 1865-1867. The last official record of him is the 1860 Census in Cape Girardeau County, Missoui. His wife remarried. We have information on her after his death and her remarriage. They had 2 sons John, Thomas, and Joseph and a daughter Elizabeth or Mary. We have information on my Grandfather Thomas and his brother Joseph. Any information would be helpful. Thanks
I have not been able to locate my Great Grandfather Daniel Smith in the 1850 census in Missouri. His son John was born about 1855 and his daughter Mary was born about 1858. His wife's maiden name was Yoder. I know there were Yoders in Farmington, Missouri. Yoder is a name associated with the Amish. However, I suspect that she was non-Amish. Thanks for your question. Any help is greatly appreciated.
There has always been rumors that my Great Grandfather Daniel Smith was killed in the Civil War. I have never found any truth to that. He had a son Joseph F Smith who was born in Missouri in 1865. I don't know the exact date. As you know the Civil War ended around May of 1865. Also when his wife Catherine died in 1924, her obituary stated that Daniel died in 1867. She had remarried and her last name was Smukowski.
I saw that on the 1860 Census. There is no other evidence proving where he was born. The family rumor is that he was born around Marble Hill Missouri. The 1860 Census is the only census that I have found him in. I am not on Ancestry, but my cousin Carla, who is working with me on this is. I found a Daniel Smith who was born in Maury County Tennessee who I thought was my Great Grandfather, but after about a year of investigating, I found out that he was the wrong Daniel Smith. I think its great that you are interested in Daniel Smith. Maybe you will find something that we can't.
I found your cousin's tree. Let me ask this. It looks as though there is no real connection between your Thomas Smith, through whom you are descended? and this Daniel Smith. Thomas and Joseph are living with a Galls family (do you know what relation they are?) in the 1870 Census in Union County--Thomas age 8 and Joseph age 6. How do you connect them with Daniel Smith? Is it just from the 1860 Census with Daniel and Catherine?
That being said, Marble Hill was in Cape Girardeau County until 1851 so that is the county that should be looked at when doing probate before then. If Daniel was born there then his father or relatives may have stayed there. There are several Smiths probated before 1851. Are you familiar with familysearch Probate Records? Here is the Probate Index for "S"s. It goes on for several pages and is not in alphabetical order, but in *general* it is in chronological order. I notice there are several family names, Johns, Daniels, etc. The book Letters and page numbers tend to be accurate, and I admit I haven't searched all, but if you or your cousin have a few hours, it should be well worth it--the settlements, sales and inventories might have names written--maybe even some guardian letters. Good luck!
FYI this is a very helpful website I use all the time. This is for Missouri, but there is every state included. It shows how the county lines changed over time with the interactive map. Very helpful! http://www.mapofus.org/missouri/
Dori, I do not have the census records with me right now. I do know that when Daniel died somewhere between 1865 and 1867, Catherine with her 3 sons, John, Thomas Jefferson and Joseph F along with daughter Mary (Elizabeth) moved to Union County Illinois. The 1870 census does show that Thomas and Joseph were living with a family named Galls. John was living with a family named Zimmerman. I was told that during this time period that if a family was very poor, other families took in their children. I can't recall where Catherine and Mary (Elizabeth) were living in 1870. Catherine married Anton Smukowski. She died in 1924. Thomas Jefferson married Rosa Brazel. They had a daughter named Anne who was born in 1895. Rosa died and Thomas married my Grandmother Viola Vaughn. Joseph married Martha Kozlowski. They moved to Milwaukee, where they lived until their death. They had no children. What happened to John and Mary (Elizabeth) is a not known. Catherine's obituary states that she was preceded in death by a son and a daughter. Thanks for the website information and also thank you for the assistance. I will look at the website later this evening.

Have you taken the Family Finders test? I have, and that is fascinating - but no luck on my Smith yet...
I would certainly agree with your recommendation!

Yes, the U.S. census through 1840 is not particularly helpful unless one happens to be looking for the property owner! Thanks you for the suggestions about Smiths DNA. I'll will look into this.

Comment by Barbara A Smythe, Jan 24, 2012
Smythe is my married name, but I have found that it might be Smith. My husband's grandfather was Charles M Smythe supposedly born in 1861 in Richland county Wisconsin. On his marriage record in 1895 he said his parents were J D Smythe and Elizabeth Williams. I have after years of research found a Charles M Smith with parents John D Smith and Elizabeth Williams who were married in 1844 in Marion county OH. This family is on the 1850 Marion OH census, 1860 Richland WI, 1870 Algona, Kossuth IA and 1880 Elizabeth was a widow on the Wesley, Kossuth IA census. I can not find Charles M on any of the census' with this family, but he married a Lottie Williams in 1886 in Clinton, IA listing parents John D Smith and Elizabeth Williams and another son of John D Smith and Elizabeth Williams married a Lottie V Williams in Richland, WI in 1897 with the same set of Smith parents and Williams parents. I have researched all of the children of this John D Smith family and do not find a Charles anywhere. This above information has too many coincidences. If anyone knows this Smith family please contact me.

Hi: my maiden name was Smith. I have only gotten back as far as my gr gr grandfather Schuyler Ephriam Smith b 1819 in Stanstead Plain, QC m Lucinda Robinson Blake b 1817 in Island Pond, Vt. I think they were both hatched from eggs as I have never been able to go any further back. Most of the family branches lived in the NE area & still do.

Still looking for ancestor Josiah Thompson Smith born 1812 in PA. He's my primary 'brick wall' after 30+ years of research. Lived in Hamilton County, OH 1832-39, Des Moines Co. IA 1839-52, Siskiyou County California 1852-62, Los Angeles CA 1870. Connected with Cummins family in Ohio. It's possible the name "Milton" is associated with the family as descendants carried that name as a middle name. There is info on Ancestry about him, but it is my work (but not submitted by me).

Recent discovery for George Elbert Smith. (1875 - 1955) On his death cert his mother is listed as Louise not Margaret. He was born in Viroqua, WI and died in SD.
I can't find anything definitive on his father, James A or mother Louise.

Hi my maiden name is Smith.
I am tying to find my grandfather, Charles Austin Smith Or maybe his name was Austin Charles? I know he lived in St .Louis Missouri in 1917 and was married to Cora O. Johnson, Werner (widow of Christ Werner d. 1914)Cora and my grandfather had a child by the name of Robert Charles Smith ( my father ) in 1917. Cora also had 4 daughter with Christ Werner.
I also know he was in the military as my father received benefits from his fathers military pension.
Cora died in 1918 and my father lived with Cora's parent Abner and Nancy Johnson until1922 when Cora's mother turned my father over to the Board of Children's Guardians for adoption. He was never adopted and grew up in an orphanage. What ever happened to Charles Austin?

My Smith surname has hit a brick wall in SW Virginia with James Henry Smith and Esther Kilgore. James was born Aug 1824 and died after the 1910 census. I cannot make a definite parent connection. I am working on documentation to prove the line.

I'm looking for information about my Great Grandfather Daniel Smith. He was born in Southeast Missouri about 1830. He died 1865-1867. The last official record of him is the 1860 Census in Cape Girardeau County, Missoui. His wife remarried. We have information on her after his death and her remarriage. They had 2 sons John, Thomas, and Joseph and a daughter Elizabeth or Mary. We have information on my Grandfather Thomas and his brother Joseph. Any information would be helpful. Thanks

Larry, Was your Great Grandfather Daniel Smith already married in the 1850 Census?
Jul 11, 2016
Larry Smith
Dori,
I have not been able to locate my Great Grandfather Daniel Smith in the 1850 census in Missouri. His son John was born about 1855 and his daughter Mary was born about 1858. His wife's maiden name was Yoder. I know there were Yoders in Farmington, Missouri. Yoder is a name associated with the Amish. However, I suspect that she was non-Amish. Thanks for your question. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Dori,
There has always been rumors that my Great Grandfather Daniel Smith was killed in the Civil War. I have never found any truth to that. He had a son Joseph F Smith who was born in Missouri in 1865. I don't know the exact date. As you know the Civil War ended around May of 1865. Also when his wife Catherine died in 1924, her obituary stated that Daniel died in 1867. She had remarried and her last name was Smukowski.

Are you on Ancestry? The 1860 Census says he was born in TN. Is there other information that indicates he was born in MO?
Jul 13, 2016
Larry Smith
I saw that on the 1860 Census. There is no other evidence proving where he was born. The family rumor is that he was born around Marble Hill Missouri. The 1860 Census is the only census that I have found him in. I am not on Ancestry, but my cousin Carla, who is working with me on this is. I found a Daniel Smith who was born in Maury County Tennessee who I thought was my Great Grandfather, but after about a year of investigating, I found out that he was the wrong Daniel Smith. I think its great that you are interested in Daniel Smith. Maybe you will find something that we can't.
Thanks,
Larry

I found your cousin's tree. Let me ask this. It looks as though there is no real connection between your Thomas Smith, through whom you are descended? and this Daniel Smith. Thomas and Joseph are living with a Galls family (do you know what relation they are?) in the 1870 Census in Union County--Thomas age 8 and Joseph age 6. How do you connect them with Daniel Smith? Is it just from the 1860 Census with Daniel and Catherine?
That being said, Marble Hill was in Cape Girardeau County until 1851 so that is the county that should be looked at when doing probate before then. If Daniel was born there then his father or relatives may have stayed there. There are several Smiths probated before 1851. Are you familiar with familysearch Probate Records? Here is the Probate Index for "S"s. It goes on for several pages and is not in alphabetical order, but in *general* it is in chronological order. I notice there are several family names, Johns, Daniels, etc. The book Letters and page numbers tend to be accurate, and I admit I haven't searched all, but if you or your cousin have a few hours, it should be well worth it--the settlements, sales and inventories might have names written--maybe even some guardian letters. Good luck!

FYI this is a very helpful website I use all the time. This is for Missouri, but there is every state included. It shows how the county lines changed over time with the interactive map. Very helpful!

Dori, I do not have the census records with me right now. I do know that when Daniel died somewhere between 1865 and 1867, Catherine with her 3 sons, John, Thomas Jefferson and Joseph F along with daughter Mary (Elizabeth) moved to Union County Illinois. The 1870 census does show that Thomas and Joseph were living with a family named Galls. John was living with a family named Zimmerman. I was told that during this time period that if a family was very poor, other families took in their children. I can't recall where Catherine and Mary (Elizabeth) were living in 1870. Catherine married Anton Smukowski. She died in 1924. Thomas Jefferson married Rosa Brazel. They had a daughter named Anne who was born in 1895. Rosa died and Thomas married my Grandmother Viola Vaughn. Joseph married Martha Kozlowski. They moved to Milwaukee, where they lived until their death. They had no children. What happened to John and Mary (Elizabeth) is a not known. Catherine's obituary states that she was preceded in death by a son and a daughter. Thanks for the website information and also thank you for the assistance. I will look at the website later this evening.
