Greate; John Quincy Adams Smith was b. ca 1828. He married Margaret Waits Dec 5, 1861, Clermont co. OH. He was found ond 1850 Census Cler. Co. working at Riley MCAdams home as a farmer. In 1860 Census of Pike Twp. Brown Co. OH, he was found with wife, Margaret, dau. Florence (my grandmother,) twin daus, Ella & Laura, son Samuel. He died in Jackson Twp. Cler. Co. Estate settle 16 Oct. l871 Cler. Co. On 1880 Census of Wmsbg. Oh Florence was found living with aunt Peterson and going to school. 1800 Census found Margaret with all children but, Florence in Wmsbg. Twp. In 1900 Census children with mother all but Florence , who had married my grandfather Lorenzo D. Homan l Jun 1884. Ella Smith died 6 Sep l909. Laura Smith & Samuel Smith I can't find on Cler. Co. Census after 1900. Margaret, w/o John Q. A. Smith died 14 Nov. 1906. Cler. Co. I have checked about all the Smiths living in Cler. & Brown Cos. at that time. Since John Q. A. was not at home when the l850 Census was taken it is hard to find his parents. Unless, he is found in someone's records or Bible. One would think with his unusal middle name this would be an easy John Smith to find but he isn't! Any help would be appreciated. Mildred Homan Emmitt
