Towse (email: towse@horizon.hit.net) - 25 Oct 2000 SMITH, QUINN and PAGAN I am looking for information on my great grandfather, Chalmer SMITH. He was one of the scouts with General Forsyth at the battle of Beechers Island. I have read some histories of this battle and assume that Chalmer SMITH was a very young man at the time; so I guess he was born about 1845 to 1850. He died in Beverly, Kansas on March 31, 1919. He married Katherin QUINN and they had a Daughter Josephine Mary SMITH (Josie) who was born July 4, 1887. I have heard that Katherin QUINN SMITH died during childbirth or very shortly after. I would like to know if these facts are true; if they had any other children; and if so, where are the decendants. Josie married John Joseph PAGAN and they lived in Beverly during part of their marriage. They had a son and a daughter, Leone (my mother) born in Beverly on November 18, 1912. About all I know about this side of my family is that Leone had a cousin named Doris PAGAN and they loved to visit with Grandpa Chalmer SMITH and his freind Jack PEATE. My mother learned about the battle from them, but she was only seven years old when Grandpa SMITH died. I don't know much about the PAGAN family and nothing about the SMITH family. If anyone can give me some more information, I would appreciate it. - ----------------------------------------------- The Lincoln County KSGenWeb query page is located at: http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/lincoln/queries.html Happy hunting Bill Sowers Bill & Diana Sowers 1746 Fairmont Rd, Topeka, KS 66604 - wrs@cjnetworks.com Lincoln Co KSGenWeb: http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/lincoln/index.html Gove Co KSGenWeb: http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/gove/index.html Graham Co KSGenWeb: http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/graham/index.html Allen Co KS ALHN: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ks/county/allen/index.html Barton Co KS ALHN: http://www.geocities.com/irus86/ Barton Co KSGenWeb: http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/barton/index.html
