Surnames: Myers, Smelser Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Hi2.2ACIB/6160.1.1 Message Board Post: Yes, the family you noted from the 1850 census is mine. I'm trying to figure out if the Betsy Myers & John Smelser who were married in Greene Co. in 1838 were the same people. Haven't been able to find documention of the maiden name for John Smelser's wife Elizabeth nor anything about her parents, siblings, etc. (I'm assuming she was Betsy Myers, but don't have proof.)
