Are these letters from the William Smith who married Mary Foster? And was this military unit Co. F, 7th Cav.? Thanks for sharing them. Dot

Hi Dot, I don't yet know Mary's maiden name or William's Company. But William's wife's name is Mary. What do you have on this family?

I have nothing on William Smith other than his name and the marriage date and place to Mary Foster---Aug. 12, 1851, Marion Co. IL. She later married Squire Farmer. I was searching the Farmers to see what I could learn about Eliza Jane Farmer, who married James H. ALEXANDER, my g.g.grandmother's brother, and son of Walter Alexander and Catherine Jolliff. I am always trying to find connections to Walter and Catherine. Dot

Hi Dot, It looks like a good match. Does anyone on this list have a census listing for William A. and Mary Smith for 1860? We should be able to match up the names of the kids easy enough. I would like to get as much information on this couple as possible, including their property location.
