Jim.....the 1850 Huron Co OH census is online and I have the 1860 Huron Co census on CD. I will ck the 1860 census if you can give me an educated guess of the township. Mary Jane in Fredericksburg > I have a stray Jared or Jerod SMITH, whose only connection with Huron Co is > that his wife, Elmira LOVE, was born there 11Nov1832, probably in New Haven > Twp. > > Jared was born in Morris Co NJ abt 1812-1814. The first documented item I > have found on him is that he and Elmira were living in Piqua, Miami Co OH, > on the 1870 census. I have no idea where he was from birth to 10Apr1848, > when Elmira claims that she married Jared in Monroe Co MI. There is no > record of the marriage in the Monroe Co records. Everything comes from a > Civil War Widow's pension that Elmira submitted in 1881. Jared had died in > Jan1881 at the Soldiers' Home in Dayton OH. Affidavits submitted with the > pension application indicate that Jared and Elmira were living in Piqua by > 1853, but have not located them on the 1860 census. In addition, their > youngest child, my Grandmother, Jennie SMITH was born in Columbus Grove, > Putnam Co OH in 1875, so they apparently were in and out of Piqua over the > years. > > Elmira was the daughter of Rufus LOVE, born 11Mar1800 in Green Co NY and > Clarissa A. BOWERS, born abt 1805 in Long Island NY, who were married in > Huron Co in 1821. On the 1830 census they were in New Haven and in 1840 in > Norwalk. I have not located them after that. I have identified one sister > of Elmira, who was Mary Elizabeth LOVE, born in Huron Co in 1829. Rufus was > the son of John LOVE and Sarah HULL. > > Perhaps Jared lived in Huron Co where he and Elmira met. Note that he was > 34-36, and she 15 when they married. > > There is a Jarrod S. Smith, age 60, born Conn; along with presumed wife, > Hannah(?) D. Smith, age 62, also born Conn, on the 1850 Huron Co OH, Lyme > Twp, census, dwelling # 1147 (I neglected to record the page #!).
