Hello,
I have just joined the list and am hoping that I may be able to find out
something about my ggGrandparents:
Lewis SMITH born October 17, 1825 Ohio
Elizabeth WEBB born April 21, 1830 North Carolina
married August 31, 1848 Pleasant Twp, Grant co, Indianna
Webb is probably not her maiden name as I am told that she was previously
married. She had a son, Luther Webb, in 1845.
Other children are:
Arabella born 1850 Indianna
William R. born 1852 Indianna
John D. born 1853 Indianna
Thomas J. born 1857 Iowa
Sarah born 1858 Iowa
Carrie Lucretia born September 22, 1861 Iowa
George B. born February 2, 1864 Iowa
The story is that Lewis SMITH moved with his family from Ohio to Grant Co, In
in 1828. I don't know the names of any of his siblings or that of his
parents.
Nor do I know the names of any siblings or parents of Elizabeth. Does any one
know of any marriages in 1844-1846 for a Mr. Webb and an Elizabeth? I would
really like to find her maiden name. (On her marriage entry to Lewis Smith in
1848, her name is not listed as 'Mrs.' Elizabeth Webb.)
I would like to correspond with anyone who has any information on these
people. I am willing to share what I have. I would also appreciate any help
from anyone on finding out anything about Lewis and Elizabeth. I have checked
obituarys, death records, etc. to no avail.
Thanks,
Kathy
