    1. Re: Rufus & Diana Smith
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2AB.2ACI/5022.1 Message Board Post: I have two more daughters for this couple, Clesta who married Thomas Wood and Francis (Fanny) who married 1) Hardin Atterberry. They went "out West", had two sons. Hardin and the boys died there. Fanny came home and married 2)Samuel Jones.They had several children. I need to dig into my folders for details. Rufus was the brother of my husband's 2nd great grandfather, Ansel Smith. They were born in Ontario County New York. Their parents were John Smith and Jane ? Ansel reported in one census that his parents were born in Connecticut. I have Diana's married name as Newton. That information was from a researcher who is now deceased. However I have never found a marriage record for Rufus and Diana. A younger Smith brother, Calvin, married a Diantha Newton. Rufus was a witness. Calvin and Diantha went to Ohio. Researching Smiths is a challenge. I'm glad to see someone interested in the New York Smiths.
