It has been over two years since I posted this query to the list. Perhaps
we have some new members since then who might be researching this line.

Does anyone else tie in to this family?
Joseph SMITH b. abt. 1813 in PA according to census
Married 23 Sept. 1838 in Stark Co. OH to Mary TOM
In 1850, found in Huntington Co. IN
In 1860, Joseph and family are in Elkhart County, IN
In 1870 and 1880, they're in Kosciusko County, Syracuse
Mary TOM
children:
Isaac b. about 1840 in OH
John b. abt. 1842 in OH
Caroline b. abt. 1845 in OH
William b. about 1852 in OH (interesting since they were in IN in 1850)
David Allen b. about 1855 in Iowa
Mary J. b. about 1858 in Iowa
Next door in 1850 is a John Smith (2 years older) also born PA, and his
family. Maybe a brother. No way to pinpoint precisely where in PA they
came from.
I would have been tempted to question whether William truly was born in OH
but he's my great-grandfather and all his other census records say the same.
William married Caroline RAPP daughter of Jacob Rapp and Sophia Starris.
David Allen Smith married (Carrie?) Hoover.
