Can someone help me with my 3rd great grandfather Solomon Smith born between 1803 - 1810 in maybe Washington County, New York. He did live there. New research that I hope will give me more information on Solomon's Ancestors. I feel that Solomon Smith was born in the Washington County, New York area, most likely in Hartford, Washington County, New York. He did move to Easton, Washington County, New York some time after Hiram was born after 1845. But I feel that I made a connection with the Smith's from Hartford and Easton by the US Census'. What can be said about this man so far, with the research that I have found. He was born in New York. His birth date is not so clear. He was born any where from about 1803 to 1811. He married Sarah Sumner, daughter of, Joseph Drake and Hannah SUMNER in about 1835 in maybe Plymouth, Windsor County, Vermont, where Sarah was from. The 1840 Census: Plymouth, Windsor County, Vermont, he is stated to be between the age of 20 and 30 years old. The 1850 Census: Easton, Washington County, New York. Solomon is stated to be about the age of 47 years old, which would place him being born about 1803. Census Taken: On October 18th, 1850. Dwelling #444, Family # 453. Smith, Solomon, 47, abt 1803, (Should be 40), Male, Farmer, New York Sarah, 40, Female, b. Vermont. James, 15, Male, b. Vermont. Hannah, 12 or 14, Female, b. Vermont. Almira, 10, Female, b. Vermont. Mandel, 8, Male, b. Vermont. Hiram, 5, Male, b. Vermont. Lucy A., 2, Female, b. New York. (Note: I feel that this is where Solomon was born. I'm looking into the Smith families in the area.) The 1860 Census: Constantia, Cleveland Post Office, Oswego County, New York. Solomon is stated to be 51 years old. Census Taken: On July 12, 1860. 1870 Census: Factoryville Post Office, Avoca Precinct, Cass County, Nebraska. He is 60 years old. Census taken: On July 23, 1870. 1878 Nebraska State Census: Oak Township, Lancaster County, Nebraska. The last time Solomon is in a record that states his age. He is 68 years old.
