In 1856 Renseler and Sherman married the VanAusdal twins Florentine and Morgianna in LaSalle County. Renseler was a son of Renseler Smith and the family came from Windham Twp, Bradford County, PA before 1850. The 1850 census has Elias Smith and children born in NY. The older Rensselaer died Feb 15, 1888 in LaSalle County. I would like an obit for Rensselaer and if possible for Elias. I don't have a death date for him and he is the one I am most interested in. I think these two gamilies are related. Thanks for your help. Beth
