Our relatives came from Maryland. I believe this fits your request. I don't usually look in this area, it is by chance today or God is leading me to you. You will need to go to Gen Web Maryland and go to marriages: Somerset and Wicomico Counties Somerset County Marriage Licenses 1796-1832 If you wish to see it yourself type in families of Horsey and Smith and go down to Smith listing for grooms it is easier and you will see Edward Smith m. Nancy Waller Horsey June 4 1799. I believe of their children they had Nancy W. Smith who m. Barna G. Gibbs Senior. We need to find Edward Smith's probate to see if he had daughters Elisabeth and Nancy. Through relatives help we have found that from the family of Horsey Smith, six children were born: 1. Elisabeth 2. Hiram 3. Sally 4. Nancy 5. Edward 6. Ellen Some of the family must have stayed together in some places. My theory with the help of Jon Chenoweth's help (the webmaster to Chenoweth's) is that maybe Elisabeth, Hiram, Nancy, and Edward and the others went to Ohio, MO. and some to OR. but I can't prove this. Jon did know that the Gibbs, Smiths, and Chenoweth's are in Ohio. I found some info on land info. that they also went to Grundy Co. MO. I don't know where Edward and Nancy are buried nor how to get probates in Ohio or MO. So someone closer needs to help in those states. Sincerely, Carol Wright Peace on Earth
