These Moore were not akin to the long time Batavia funeral home and real estate Moores.

You're right, as usual, Hermon. My Charles M. Smith was the nephew of your Charles & Mary (Coates) Moore. Charles M. Smith's mother, Rachel Coates/Smith, was the half sister of Mary Coates/Moore. Charles M. Smith married Charles & Mary Moore's widowed daughter Rebecca Moore/Grant in 1837 - they remained married for 12 years until her death in 1849. I keep hoping that perhaps Clermont Co. Ohio will offer some details on his father, Nathaniel Smith. Although I have been able to find bits and pieces on them in Montgomery Co. PA I still cannot figure out who Nathaniel Smith's parents and siblings were. I have been told that my grandmother used to say that her family were from the Smith's of Ohio and I am unsure just how many generations she was talking about. Her grandfather Charles M. Smith was born in PA and lived in Clermont Co Ohio but it's always possible that his father Nathaniel was associated with Ohio before appearing in PA in the 1810's. The problem is with the Smith surname being so common - there are just too many to chose from.
