Hello Listers, I am a new subscriber and I hope someone on this list may be able to help with the most difficult of all names, as seen in the subject line. My 3xgrandfather, was John Smith, b. ca 1769, in NY (1850 census). He married 1st Mindwell/Minewell WADHAMS, 2nd Sophia (CHAPMAN) CROCKER, d. Mar. 1852 He lived in Hancock and Williamstown, Berkshire Co. MA and is interred with both wifes in Mott Cemetery, Lebanon Springs, NY. John and Mindwell had four sons (no children by second marriage). 1. William wife unk 2. Sylvester (my line) m. Aurelia/Amelia SMALLEY 3. Enos m. Charlotte SHUMWAY 4. David, m. 1st Catherine THOMPSON, 2nd Polly SQUIRES His will which is very faded indicates that he had at least one brother George. I am very interested in learning about John's parents and other siblings. The family was Baptist and I suspect they were part of the Baptist migration from CT. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated and of course, I would be happy to share any information and sources I may have. Thank you! Margaret in NV
