It has been sometime since I have posted my LaPorte Co family. Perhaps we
have new members that I can share with now.
Edward and Jane (USHER??) SMITH died in 1859 and 1860 in LaPorte Co.
Their children all born in Indiana and known spouses were
Joseph H SMITH b 1834 married Nancy Baine in 1859

MAIDEN NAME UNKNOWN first child born 1868
Lanson E. (or Alonzo or Alanson) SMITH b 1845
James SMITH b 1849 died young
George SMITH B 1855 have lost about the 1880 census
John Wesley and Martha stayed in Indiana. . I think I have a good deal of
information on John Wesley and Martha's families, although I would like to
find a living heir for Martha.
I have lost Joseph after his marriage,
Charles, Lanson, and George appear in St. Clair Co MO in 1880. I can trace
Charles and his family from MO to AR and to IT/OK.
I would be thrilled to share information with others.
