Lovey, Robert M., Josiah, Elizabeth, Mary A., Maria H., Henry H. and Nancy E. Robert was born in 1801 and Josiah in 1808. They must have also had Chalton, born in 1806, which makes sense. But I think some of the kids you listed were Josiah's kids. Can you check your records again and let me know. I have William Smith, Sr. dying in 1846 so perhaps Mary married again to have the younger children? What I am really hoping to find is what happened to Chalton's son, William, born in 1834. The reason being is I'm trying to find out who Sally Smith (daughter of John and Amelia Smith) who was born in 1832 in Nanticoke married. She was 18 in 1850 and living with her family. In 1860 she was living with her family with two children born in 1857 and 1859. She is listed as a widow. I went through all of the Smith boys in Nanticoke around her age and I've eliminated all who were in the 1860 census. There are only two boys that I! can't find. One was Chalton's son, William. The other is William and Tabitha Smith's son, Samuel. We cannot find death records without names but I was hoping I could find something. Thanks and let me know if anything above rings bells!
