Surnames: LAWS, SMITH Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/QAw.2ACIB/802 Message Board Post: I am looking for the parents and other family of my g-g-g-g-grandmother Abigail Eleanor LAWS, born 15 NOV 1819, married Michael W. SMITH, died 11 MAY 1900, buried in Canaan Corners cemetery in Waymart, Wayne county PA. On her tombstone, they spelled her name "Abical". Buried near her is a Lafayette SMITH. She had two daughters that I know about: Ann Eliza SMITH (my line) and Sarah Ellen SMITH. Also, what is the origin of this surname? Thank you in advance for any leads that you might provide!
