Surnames: SMITH Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CKB.2ACE/1768.16 Message Board Post: I'm looking for deaths and marriages of the John and Dilla Smith family in Dade Co., MO, between 1870 and 1880. John died in Dade Co. in late 1869, and Dilla and the children appeared in the 1870 census in Smith Twp. By 1880 there is no trace of them. The names and approximate birth dates are: Dilla/Delilah (1823 - possible remarriage), William H. (1842), Levi J. (1844), Syntha or Cynthia (1846), Sarah (1848), Cullen M. (1850), John A. (1852), Lucy E. (1855), Andrew J. (1858), James W. (1861), and Alonzo b. (1867). The family came to Dade Co. from Tennessee and spent at least some time in MO, where Alonzo was born. They were back in Dade in 1860 and back in 1870, however. Thanks for any help you can provide.
