Bev,
My children are related to your Smith line. Jacob Smith and Matilda Bundy
had a daughter, Melissa born around 1852. Melissa's son, Robert Eli Johns, is
directly related to my children's line. Frank Johns is the father of Robert
Eli Johns. He is the ggg grandfather of my kids. I don't know if Melissa
Smith and Frank Johns were ever married. She later married Albert Young.

I can give you other information on the descendants of Smith/Johns, if you
need that line. I am also at a brick wall with the Smith/Bundy connection.
