Mary Lu,
Great summary of the quandry. I have no further information in my file on
any George W Smith, but I can identify Elizabeth Younce as a daughter of
George Younce and Mahaila Michael(Mikel). This suggests one George W Smith
will be found in Union Twp.

George Washington Smith was born on January 3, 1833, in Delaware
County, IN.
He was the son of John C. Smith and Harriet Preston.
George's first wife was Mary E. Moore who he married on November 20, 1856
(C-3-290).
Mary died on May 9, 1863, per your Delaware County death index.
MANY years ago, someone told another Smith researcher that Mary died on
May 9, "1860" and George married #2, Elizabeth Younce on November 2, 1860.
Because by that time George had two daughters, that made sense.
But over the weekend I corresponded with another researcher with a Smith
connection and Delaware County, and she pointed out the error!
It is said that George's third wife was Katie, who he married in Minnesota
on November 5, 1866.
The family left Delaware County in February of 1866.
So if there is other researchers for "George Smith" of Delaware County,
detective work last night came up with at least three, so you may have
also been given the information showing only one George Smith!
I would be willing to exchange notes with anyone who has more to add to
this mix!
Nothing like a little challenge now and then!
Thank you to those who have posted all of the Delaware County information
who put some "sense" it to this whole mess!
