I would like to know if someone could tell me what NY group, town or area any Amos SMITH (who was b. ca. 1770-1780) shows up with in a War of 1812 roster -- I have checked out some of the on-line sites but many area's are lacking. My newest tidbid of information is from a biography of his granddaughter's husband (George Kelly of Steuben Co., NY) which states that Amos Smith served in the War of 1812. - I realize that this is a stab in the dark - but as after almost 19 years of looking for my 'stuck' SMITH family it is the only new lead I have had after many months. I bet everyone wishes they had a Smith to look for.. ha ha. Of Amos SMITH - he is in census & school formation records in 1840, 41 & 42 in Scio, Allegany Co., NY. Probably died before 1849 as he doesn't show up in the 1850 mortality schedules nor census. He left no will's, nor any property to his decendants. He might be the same Amos Smith of Steuben Co., NY prior to 1840 - and possibly also of Broome & Chenango Co's earlier. Thanks for any help given.
