Hello Helpers, I am looking for the Family of John Smith who had a sister, Louisa Smith, Their parents were John Smith and Jane Slagle. They were in Whitely Co Ind 1850 but moved to Galena where their oldest Son, also a John Smith was living about 1854??. The father left there for Ca. and word was sent back that he died on the way. ( Which I doubt as many did this and never returned to family) Louisa was b in 1839 as she was 11 yrs old on 1850 census. It is believed Louisa Smith married in the area of Galena, Ks or MO. after her fa. left there. The mother went to Delaware Co Ind later 1850's and was a seamstres for a while as on 1860 census there as so. then after 1860 she went back to her son, John Smith's in Galena Area, and there she is said to have died. I am looking for anyhting on this family, especialy a Marraige Application, or licence for Louisa Smith to ??? during abt 1855 ?? to 1860 +?? while living in Galena maybe with her brothers family , John Smith. Also the mother, Jane Slagle Smith's death. She is said to have been b in Montgomery Co Oh. ?? There were a numbe of children b before 1850 and Louisa was born. Others also may have been there. Son, John Smith May have Been on 1850 and 1860/70 censuses there. Need look up and all imfo on census dates place , etc with names etc. also date and place of bur. of any of them especialy the mother Jane Slagle Smith b in Montgomery Co Oh abt 1815 to ?? would have died after abt 1862??.
