A big thank you to Denise and Melinda for responding to my last query
about John SMITH. I think you found the right guy. Now that I have a
whole bunch of siblings, places of birth, and a township to work with,
maybe someone out there can tell me how to find a will for John SMITH.
I'm looking for a will dated after 1860, most likely in Posey Township,
Switzerland County. Also, I didn't think to check the 1870 census for
this family because my great grandfather was already married and had
moved to Kansas by then, but I would still like to see if his parents and
siblings were still in Posey Township. So if anyone has the census for
1870, could you do a lookup? (See family below) Are there marriage
records for this area to check for the siblings in this family?
John SMITH, 49 in 1860 (my records show him born 1810 in PA)
Mary SMITH, 44
Jacob, b. 1836 in KY
Elizabeth, b. 1838 in KY
Hannah, b. 1840 in KY
Mary J., b. 1842 in KY
John, b. 1844 in KY or IN (this is my great great grandfather)
Thomas E., b. 1846 in IN
Francis (Frank) b. 1848 in IN
William b. 1850 in IN
George b. 1852 in IN
Adelia b. 1854 in IN
James W. b. 1856 in IN
Nathan b. 1857 in IN
Silas b. 1859 in IN
Thanks,
