My ancestor, Rev. Jedediah Smith, was an itinerant Baptist preacher in Crawford Co. - from 1845 to 1865. (His bio says that he "had charge of the church in Bloomfield, preaching there three Sundays a month.") So, it is interesting to me that you also seem to have a "Reverend connection." > > Jedediah's son, Lewis, is my antecedent. Jedediah's daughter (and Lewis' sister), Emeline, married Stephen Bloomfield. Stephen was born in 1824. His father was also Stephen (about 1785) and his mother's name was Claripa. His other siblings were Alvin (1842), Smith (1837), Lewis (1843), Hannah (1845), Washington (1846) and Robert Howard (1848). Although I don't have a Mary listed, the dates are in the same timeframe. Wondering if you are noticing anything that may cause you to think there is a link? > > Stephen and Emeline moved to Deerfield (Lenawee Co) Michigan about 1965, and died there. I live in Perrysburg OH (near Toledo), about a 45 min. drive from Deerfield. > > Please respond if you see a connection. > > Kathy Smith > kathyjsmith@wcnet.org > Kathy_Smith@wgte.pbs.org >
