Mike, I really, really do appreciate this. Searching for a John and William Smith is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Possibly the most difficult would be finding the surnames of Margaret, wife of John;, and Elizabeth, wife of William. The maiden name of Margaret may start with an R, as her son Hugh named his first daughter Margaret R. Smith. He also named the youngest daughter, Ann R. Smith. On Elizabeth, I have no idea, as I have found no middle names in the children of William and Elizabeth. I believe John Smith may have been born around 1720, no idea where, just that the earliest land record I have is his warrent for land in 1743, in later York, and Adams Counties, probably the Tyrone township area. I don't know if they belonged to any church, no record, but Margaret, wife of John, did join the Christ Anglican church {aka White church} near York in 1777. I also would really like to find out about the two men named George Smith, one of which stayed on his father {William} property in York County, Huntington Township, property of about 200 acres. William possibly was manufacturer of whiskey, as he had 300 kegs listed in his probate. The other George Smith was a miller, possibly in Tyrone township. One of the two George's married a Sarah Brandon, daughter of Thomas Brandon. One of them died before 1810 and the other before 1820. I would like to know children if possible, one or two of which probably was named George. Anything of any nature would be helpful. Thank You again.

Adams Co. Original Land Records, Vol. 2 is in its final stages prior to publication, including original + colonial records for SEVEN townships: Berwick, Oxford, Hamilton, Reading, Tyrone, Latimore and Huntington. I expect that book will go to the printer within a few weeks, or by year's end. Your Smith's are in there, and the accompanying connected survey map shows where their properties were located. I'll send out a publication notice when the time is right. Dr. Neal O.
