Hello wondering if anyone knows of a
Samuel Smith march 9 1833-35 Davies Indiana
was maried in Petersburg Indiana july 5 1859 to
Mary Elisabeth Smith {Smith Maiden}
Children are
Annie {An} Smith may 24 1862
William Smith December 24 1866
Jane or James Smith september 27 1869
Mattie Smith febuary 23 1872
Thomas Samuel febuary 14 1879
Those names was from his pention pappers Samuel was in the Co D 44th Indiana Infantry
His home was bernt down with family bible in 1864
For some reason he didnt want anyone to know he lived in Tenn before moveing to
Franklin,Arkansas in 1879 .Got that from the pention records he says he went from
Petersburg to Arkansas he didnt he was in Tenn before Arkansas.From a census I have this
might be his Father mother
Samuel Smith 1777 Pennsylvania {Justus of peace}
Isabella Qiugley Massachusetts
Theresa Smith 1812
Erasmus Smith 1813
James Smith 1816
Thomas Smith 1826
Samuel Smith 1833 census says 1835
Also found the Same census a few times alwase his birth year was off by a couple years one
way or other. back then they really didnt know and when the family bible bernt with the
house he never knew his real age from what I was reading in the Pention.his mother says
1835 to his wife so that tells a story about the census being the way it is .Thanks Larry
