Hi all,
I am looking for information on the Joseph Smith family which settled in
Perry Twp. in the 1840s. Joseph was born abt. 1810, perhaps in Ohio or
Kentucky, with antecedents in Virginia?. He married Elizabeth Ann Bristow in
1842;she was born in 1814 in either Preble County, Ohio or Green County,
Kentucky. Elizabeth may have been Joseph's second wife because in the 1850
Census I find him with three children that were born before this date.
Unfortunately, I could only read the name of one of the children, Payton.
There is no record of Joseph in the 1860 Census; Elizabeth is the head of the
household.
Children of this couple include:
i Angeline Smith (1842-1873) m. Isaac Sutton
ii Thomas J. Smith (1844-?)
iii Martha Jane Smith (1846-1924) m. Isaac Sutton
iv Elizabeth Ann Smith (1848-1939) m. Millard Fillmore Sutton
v William B. Smith (1850-?)
vi Sarah Lucille Smith (1853-?)
Any information on the Smith family, ancestors as well as descendants,
or allied families, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much.
Sincerely,
John Sutton
Laramie, WY
