Ruth, I don't know the descendants for Benjamin and Martha V. Woodruff. I am trying to find them. If you find that your Lydia is related, let me known and as I work on this line and I find that Benjamin and Martha had a daughter by the name of Lydia I will contact you.

Have had no luck, and this is probably a long shot. My Lydia Smith married Jeremiah French April 19, 1837, Athens County, OH. I have had no luck in finding any other record except for the census records of 1850, 1860, 1870 all from Elizabeth Township, Lawrence County, OH. If this links with your Smith family, I'd be happy and jumping for joy? Thanks for responding, Ruth Clewis >> Connie Cotterill Schumaker [email protected] Keep genealogy free!
