Hi everyone,
I have the honor to also have a JOHN SMITH ancestor in Greene Co,IN. He
is somewhat SPECIAL! And something to be PROUD of!
His Probate Record is the first Probate Record listed in Greene Co,IN
Probate Court Order Book.
That's right Probate order Book A pg 1!
Now, He might not have been the first person to die in Greene Co,IN because
we have drifters, Indians and others
maybe others a little more important people. <g>
But My John Smith clearly shows that his Probate Record was the first
recorded in Greene Co,IN at the date of
22-sept-1823!!
John Smith b ca 1755 probably PA (Bedford/Fulton Co,PA area)
Married Ann Mary Magdalena ( LENY) Mooney prior to 1771, daughter of Jacob
Mooney!
moved to Jefferson Co,KY prior to 1781 where their children were married.
John Smith died prior to 22-sept-1823 in Greene Co,IN and Leny Mooney SMITH
died Greene Co,IN
will written 19-oct-1824 will probated 14-Feb-1826
Children:
Jacob Smith md 1795 Jeff Co,KY Ann Williamson ( My ancestor)
Anne Smith md 1810 Jeff Co,kY Joseph Kirkpatrick (resident of Greene
Co,IN in 1824)
Mary Magdalena "Leany" Smith md 1811 Jeff Co,KY William Hodgen ( resident
of Greene Co,IN in 1823)
Sarah Smith md 1795 Jeff Co,KY Charles Bailey In Greene Co,IN in 1820s
Adam Smith md 1809 Shelby Co,KY Sally Ballard
Elizabeth Smith md 1791 Jeff Co,KY Henry HAWKINS
John Smith Jr md 1815 Woodford Co,KY Elizabeth M Hall
I have another SMITH line also in Greene Co,IN from KY but it's a different
line also! (reuben Smith)!!
Another PA( Or VA) Smith line!!
Now, I have NOT chased all the descendants of John Smith or have any info
on any of the SMITH descendants that might have followed their
father/Grandfather to Greene Co,IN.
IF anyone can help with the BAILEY/KIRKPATRICK families sure would
appreciate the help.
