    1. SMITH - DAVENPORT Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of Eugene SMITH, Esq. of New York City which was taken at the Anson's Studio in New York City. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1860's with Eugene likely in his 20's or 30's at the time. Based on limited research, I believe that this may well be a photograph of Eugene SMITH b. 24 Apr 1839 in New York City, NY to parents Matthew SMITH and Mary Ann DAVENPORT. Eugene SMITH married Katherine Wadsworth BACON on the 22nd of Feb 1872 in New York City. In 1880 the couple was recorded in the census, living in New York City with records providing the following information: Eugene SMITH, age 41, born in NY, a Lawyer, parents born in NY Catherine SMITH, wife, age 32, born in CT, House Keeper, parents born in CT Mary A.

SMITH, wife, age 52, born May 1848, married 28 years, 4 children/4 living, born in CT, parents born MI/CT Mary A.
