Still searching for descendands of John and Margaret Smith of then York County, now Adams County, Huntington and Tyrone townships of the period 1743 - 1788. Their children were George, John, Elizabeth married James Smith before 1783}, Eleanor {married Robert Crawford before 1783} and Hugh Smith. Eleanor and Robert Crawford moved to Venango County about 1803. Hugh Smith went south to Virginia about 1781 or 1782. William and Elizabeth Smith also of Huntington and Tyrone Townships, York County, now Adams, their children consisted of James, George, William, and Eleanor {married David Beals} before 1780. Each John Smith and William Smith had almost 200 acres in the area of north Huntington and Tyrone townships. One of the two George Smith men married a Sarah Brandon and remained on the land, the other George Smith was a miller in the area. Any other information appreciated, or connection to these families. Will share data. Thank You, Judy Smith/Colorado

I know that Smith is a common surname; however, I have a William Smith who purchased his land from William Penn in what is now Adams Co. His Will only names daughters. Daughter, Mary Smith, married Robert Wilson and daughter, Esther Smith, married Robert's brother Charles Wilson. Charles was captured by the British during the Revolution and spent the rest of the war on one of the British prison ships at a harbor in New York. Both Robert and Charles were with the Flying Camp regiment. Would like to know the name of William Smith's wife.
