She was born Abt. 1805 in New York NY, and died Abt. 1890. Notes for SAMUEL SHELDAN SMITH JR.: Census of June 1880 Sheldon John ( son of Samuel ) stated His father was born in Connectect And his mother was born in Indiana This information was obtianed from Sheldon J Smith's Death certificate His father, Samuel Smith, was born in New York His mother, Jenntte Martin, was born in New York Faith Gennett Martin? I searched all of the Martin's in Delaware County, New York and through a process of elimination came up with the fact that Ebenezer Gould Martin was most likely the father to Faith Gennett. He was the only Martin in the area to have a daughter of her age, unless Samuel Smith and Gennett were married somewhere else other than Delaware County. Ebenezer's wife's name was Abigail and that was the name of Samuel and Gennett's first daughter. Ebenezer was born in Connecticut and so was his wife. He died in Delaware County in 1827. His will states: Ebenezer Gould Martin of Sidney, will dated 4 Feb 1827, probated 20 Mar 1827. Wife: Abigail Sons: Sheldon, Samuel, Thaddeus Daughters: Polly Ferris, Jennett Martin Ebenezer Gold Martin (Son of Jonas Martin )went by the name Gould Martin. Gould was most likely his mother's maiden name. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
