1st family John Root and Mary Ashley had daughter Mary Root who married John Smith Jr, they had son John Smith III. They are part of my Smith family 1600-1700s of South Hadley Mass. 2nd family Julia Root b abt 1702 married Lent Record Reynolds b 3 nov 1792 in Cheshire, New Haven, Connecticut 3rd family Charles Root married Sarah M Elwood b 28 dec 1834 - had a son Edward L Root. Her parents were Samuel Elwood b 1794 of McDonough, Chenango, NY and Harriet Curtis b 15 Apr 1798 in Oxford, Chenango, New York. 4th family Chauncey Root b probably early 1800s married Hannah Stiles b 1825 Penn. No further info except he married into my Jonathan Tuttle Stiles /Anna Card families b late 1700s and lived in Woodhull and Troupsburg, Steuben, New York. I show no connections between these 4 families. I'd sure like to correspond with anyone who has further information. Thanks Helen Elwood Conachan
