Hello Listers, I have recently found new information in my search for John SMITH b. 1769. His father was Jehiel SMITH, b. 3 Jun 1745 in Greenfield, CT son of Daniel and Sarah (PRICE) SMITH; m. Pene DAVIS, 1768. Daniel was known to be in Dutchess Co. NY in 1757 and I think it's possible that Jehiel moved on to Colombia Co. Jehiel purchased property in Hancock, MA from Eleaser DEMING of New Lebanon, Columbia Co. NY in 1785. Eventually, Jehiel sold that property to his son John and moved on to Fairfield, Chittenden Co. (now Franklin Co.) VT and by 1796 he moved into the Province of Quebec, Canada. I would be delighted to hear from anyone who may have connections to this family. As always I am quite happy to share information and sources. Margaret in NV
