I knew it wasn't that one, another Smith line I'm related to, they went from MA to VT to Susquehannah PA to NY to OH &c. Baptist? 7th Day? The Hill bunch I'd mentioned came from MA through RI generations then to Dutchess Co NY, then across the Hudson to Wallkill ... before some moved up to Tioga/Chemung. The Smith line moved via paddling his canoe & family up the Susquehanna to Tioga Co, NY, but still not "the" polygamy Joe Smith. > Excerpted from  "The Ancestry & Posterity of > Joseph Smith and Emma Hale" > by Audentia Smith Anderson (1926) > > Founder, first president and Prophet of the Church of Jesus > Christ of > Latter-day Saints (Mormons). > In 1826 Joseph Smith [born 23 Dec 1805 in Sharon, Windsor, > VT] made the > acquaintance of Emma, the daughter of Isaac and Elizabeth > (Lewis) Hale, > well-to-do farmers living near Harmony (now Oakland), > Susquehanna Co., > PA.
