KY; parents b. KY , husband . Susan, 40, wife, b. KY; father b. PA; mother b. KY . Thos., 24, son, KY . Tucker, 17, son, KY * * * . Louisa, 13, at home, KY . Argueta, 10, son, KY .

KY; parents b. KY On the 1900 Knox Co., there is this family: 96-97 SMITH, Thomas, husband, b. 3-1856, 44, mar. 18 yrs, b. KY; b. KY .

KY * * * NOTE : Helen, I think that on the 1880, the name transcribed as Argueta is probably Augustus or something similiar. His age would fit with the brother of Thomas in 1900 being 33 yrs old. Thomas's age from the 1880 fits. The Jabe SMITH on the 1880 now shows next dwelling as: Dwelling 95-96 SMITH, Jobi, husband, b. 3-1858, 42, mar. 20 yrs, b. KY; parents b. KY . Mary J., wife, b. 4-1856, 44, mar. 20 yrs, 8 born; 8 living, b. KY; parents b. KY . John H., son, b. 7-1881, 18, KY . Gilbert, son, b. 3-1883, 17, KY . Willie, son, b. 3-1885, 15, KY . James, b. 7-1887, 12, KY . Dora, b. 8-1889, 10, dau, KY . Delora, dau, b. 1-1892, 8, KY . Ida, dau, b. 4-1894, 6, KY . Lizzie, dau, b. 5-1896, 4, KY I am not familiar with the SMITH family genealogy very much but it would appear there is some connection here to the folks you are looking for. I can see from various marriage records and other census that the names Tucker, Augustus, etc. are repeating family names. Perhaps someone more familiar with this family can provide more help.
