Hi Dick, I don't have any Washington Co. records, but wanted to ask if you have run across an Elisha or Nancy Smith in your search. I've been told that my gg-grandmother, Nancy Haney, may have been the daughter of Elisha Smith. She married Evan Haney in Monroe County in 1858. Thanks, Peggy Tice Rogers In a message dated 7/25/2003 4:27:55 PM Central Daylight Time, rjfelts@msn.com writes: << I'm researching my wife's Smith ancestors in Washington County and wonder if anyone with access to marriage records could provide any information about the following marriage: Groom: Edward Bates Smith Bride: Melvina (or Levina or Lavina) Smith Approximate date: 1862 Yes, this was a case of a Smith marrying a Smith! Melvina is the sister of my wife's great great grandfather. Thanks in advance. Dick Felts Penfield, NY >>
