Message Board Post:
Gayle,
I did find the marriage record. It does look promising but the 1880 census that I have
with Benjaman, vice Benjamin R. Smith, in grant county says his father was born in
Indiana. The 1870 census that has Reuben T. Smith on it lists his birthplace as Ohio. I
have saved it to my shoebox for future use possibly. How do I go about getting birth
certificates for Benjamin Ransom Smith through Grant County if they even have them from
back then?
