Oh Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Fayette/10202 Surname: ARMSTRONG, PARRETT, BLOOMER, SMITH, MARTIN, FANCHER, GORDON, IRWIN, ERVIN, BUCKLEY, MCKILLIP, CONNER ------------------------- I have found 3 different birth dates for Mahala ARMSTRONG,born in 1819 Fayette Co, OH, daughter of John ARMSTRONG and Elizabeth PARRETT, originally from Tom's Brook, VA. The Fayette Co Ohio USGenweb site birth records has March 23, 1819 - no source listed. The Certified Probate Court Death Record of Mahala ARMSTRONG SMITH, wife of Milan Lewis SMITH, would have her birth date as May 12, 1819 (date of death was July 17, 1885 at age 66y, 2m., 5d.). The Family Bible record of Milan Lewis and Mahala ARMSTRONG SMITH shows her birth date of Aug 25, 1819. Does anyone have any other records that can verify or deny any of these birth dates for Mahala ARMSTRONG SMITH? I would like to hear from anyone researching this family.
