I have been away from the computer for over a week and will address Sandy England's relationship. Joseph or Joe K. Smith son of subject was married 21 October 1880 as Sharon has reported and this comes from Knox Co. official marriage records which can be obtained on the Knox Co. Gen website which is very informative showing that Elizabeth BAKER was his bride. According to these documents both were residents of Knox Co and believed to be living in the area of Hammons Fork Road just south of the Clay County line and below Otter Creek Right Fork Road. It should be noted that the marriage of their son James R. Smith in 1910 and this marriage document is on the Knox Co. Gen Website and it shows that James married Mandy Brown son of Mr. & Mrs. Silas Brown. Further it shows that his father is Joseph K. Smith and mother Lizzie Smith. >From this marriage it is assumed that three known children were born with Emily or Emma Jane Smith born in 1881. In the 1900 census of Emily or Emma Jane, the month as recorded on the census form appears to be March but however this could in reality be May but that does not matter. James R. Smith was born in 1889 and Daughtery who has been recorded in census records as Daw Daugh etc. was born 1893. Surely there could have been other children born but not accounted for in 1900 census and if there were any, they could have been females which are less able to track. Joseph or Joe K. Smith married 14 January 1897 to Mollie Smith in Knox Co. with the resident of Joseph being Clay Co and Mollie, Knox Co. There known children were Ellen, Willie B. and Calvin Smith. In the 1920 census Joseph K. Smith is enumerated as Joe Smith and has a 47 year old wife named Nancy. I have no further information on her. I hope that Sandy does not mind me giving her descent, although I would have thought she would have replied, however she is a hard working gal with a regular job and that comes first and like me is away from the computer at times for some time. Emily or Emma Jane Smith married 8 August 1895 to John D. JACKSON, son of Micajah "Cager" JACKSON and his second wife Amanda SMITH. What is believed to have been John and Emily/Emma Jane's second child was Nicholas or Nick JACKSON. Nick Jackson married Lucy Smith daughter of John Hensel Smith & Elizabeth Slusher and their 7th known child and daughter Irene Jackson was born in 1945. Irene married Carl Hubbard, son of Isaac Hubbard and grandson of Turner HUBBARD and Amelia [Smith] Hubbard. Sandy is the daughter of Carl HUBBARD and Irene JACKSON. And yes, she is a cousin to Wages etc. I hope that this has helped, and also that Betty was able to access the proper rootswebsite. As we owe Sharon Gallagher Shaffer Smith [and excuse me I hope I have this right-the names that is] a debt of gratitude in what she has put forth in her postings on this SMITH & JACKSON family. It should also be known that it is Irene Jackson Hubbard who relayed information that her grandmother Emma had a brother named Jim to her daughter Sandy. Sandy was online and Richard Holt a descendant of Micajah "Cager" JACKSON & his first wife Mariana STEWART chatted with each other. Richard knew that I had thoroughly researched the parentage of Emily or Emma Jane SMITH and had came to the conclusion that her father had to be Joseph K. Smith. However had no proof and I Hal [Harold} Smith was ignorant in not getting onto the Knox Co Gen Website. Richard contacted me and I relayed the info that Joseph had a son named James Smith and he was enumerated in 1910 just married and next to his father. Richard then got on the Knox Co website and got the married document of James R. SMITH and Mandy BROWN. And this led us to now have documents proving the parentage of Emily Jane or Emma Smith and so many people now know their ancestry. It is sweeter as the GUNTER family hereabouts in Central-Mid Michigan now have their final Clay County, and Knox County roots solved. However their is a footnote to the story and probably only Irene Hubbard could tell it best. Sometime between 1923-24 the above Emily/Jane [Smith] Jackson went out of her mind so to speak as a young daughter born after 1920 census died in scalding water pit which was used for pigs. The scene and this tragedy set off Emily//Emma and she wandered off. It is evident that she went from home to home alone by herself. Since husband John married in 1926 he evidently divorced her. Emma Jackson 48 years old appears in January 1930 enumeration of the area around Ashers Fork Road living in the household of Sarah [Clarkston] MILLS. Or this is my belief. No other Emma Jackson by that name would be possible. Sarah Mills was a widow for over 30 years of Clark Mills and of course the Mills were ancestors and relatives of this tragic lady. It should also be mentioned that the same fate happened to her daughter Ida Jackson when Ida's 33 year old husband Arthur Jackson died of TB last week of December 1938 and she wandered off from here children and died less than 3 months after her husband Arthur Jackson and believe it or not having wed a Philip Cox in February and then dying also of TB on 29 March 1939. The descendants of subject are happy in knowing their ancestry now but at the same time their is falso sadness in knowing what their grandmother Ida JACKSON and Emily/Emma Jane [SMITH] Jackson had evidently suffered the same way. There is knowledge what happened to Ida but there is mystery to what happened to Emily/Emma Jane. My best to everyone. God Bless.
