Hello, listers! I'm stumped. My ggg grandparents, Lavina SMITH (1818 - 1897) married Samuel ALBAUGH (1808 - 1889) in 1836 in Knox or Licking County. I am looking for Lavina's parents and family. Here are obituaries for Lavina and Samuel. They indicate that Lavina Smith was born in Knox County and lived there all her life, but at the time of their marriage, Samuel Albaugh was living in Licking County. Doesn't make much sense! Can anybody help place Lavina Smith in a family? Thanks!
