Hi Debby,
There were several John Smiths in Daviess Co, IN during the time the various
John Taylor Smiths were living, so I'm sure there has been much confusion over
which John belongs to which family. I want to get them straight.
Can you help with proof that John Taylor Smith III b. 23 Sept 1833 was a son
of Raphael J. Smith and Mary Ann Potts as stated in your email yesterday?
I have had John Taylor Smith b. 1838 as a son of James French Smith and
Martha Ann Mattingly. He married 1) 22 Nov 1853 Theresa Ann McAtee and 2) Margaret
McDonald in 28 Aug 1877. Margaret McDonald was the widow of James Maguire
whom she married 10 Sept 1866 in Daviess Co. Theresa Ann McAtee was the
daughter of Daniel McAtee and Lucinda A. 'Lucy' Kidwell.
I looked at the 1850 Census again for the record on Martha Ann Mattingly
Smith (James French Smith died in April 1850):
Daviess Co., IN, 1850 Census HH 1017
MARTHA SMITH 39 KY
Eliza 17
Susan 12
George W. 9
James H. 4
Raphael 2
Joseph 19
Daviess Co., IN, 1850 Census HH 1016 (next door)
John H. Smith, 20, farmer, b. IN
Eliza Smith, 18 b. IN
(Several doors away is the family of Daniel and Lucy McAtee--many of the
children of James French Smith and Martha Ann Mattingly married children of Daniel
and Lucy Kidwell McAtee.)
1860 Daviess Co, IN Census HH 246/246
Martha Smith, 55 b. KY
Margaret Smith, 20, b. IN
George W. Smith, 18, b. IN
James H. Smith 14, b. IN
Raphael Smith, 11, b. IN
living next door is her son, Joseph B. Smith and his wife, Susan. (Susanna
McAtee)
John H. Smith is John Hilary Smith, who married Elizabeth Ellen Gootee 22 Jan
1850, so that is most likely not the son of James French Smith and Martha Ann
Mattingly. I don't have parents for John Hilary Smith.
If anyone can help connect these various SMITH lines in Daviess Co, please
give us a hand! Thanks!
Shirley
Shirley,
What do you know about this James McGuire?
