    1. Re: [MIBERRIE-L] Re: Roll Call - SMITH
    2. Hi, Bonnie. The only Smith I know about in the family (so far ;-) is the one you may have seen Daundra report a day ago or so: W.H. MURPHY -m- MARY ANN SMITH in Berrien Co. on Feb. 8, 1856. I was surprised to learn that they were married in Berrien County--I had presumed they married in Ohio (should never presume anything!) They are listed on their daughter's death certificate from Portland, Oregon, which also gives their birthplaces as Ohio. Their daughter's name was Eliza Jane Murphy. Other siblings of Eliza Jane as listed in her obituary were: Martha V. Bowen, Ed and M.D. Murphy all of Portland, Oregon; John Murphy of Buchanan, Michigan; Mrs. M. J. Claplin/Chaplin of Billings, Montana. Eliza Jane's marriage certificate lists her birthplace as "Painterville, Lake Township, Berrien Co., Mich.," and states that her residence at time of marriage was "Bridgman, Berrien Co., Mich." She married George David Montgomery from Buchanan, Berrien, Michigan. If any of these sound like they fit in with your Smiths or Murphys, let me know. I can provide a lot more on their descendants, but haven't gone back beyond William H. Murphy - Mary Ann Smith yet. I did a little bit of searching online in Ohio sources, but didn't find anything right off the bat. I figure they will take a minor miracle to track down with no additional information! Keep in touch, Kathy in Nebraska
