Smith 1835-1913 of Kent Co I believe Martins sister was married to a Lewis, as My Grandfather wrote that a Merritt Lewis (Civil War Vet) was our cousin. Which appears to be the third Son of Loran Lewis and Alcada Smith. I have been reserching Merritt Lewis. And I hope this is the Smith Family Connection that I have been looking for.
