Don, I know this one will be a tough nut to crack--Smiths are a dime a dozen--BUT I have a Samuel Smith who probably was born about the same time (give or take a few years) in York County. I wonder if you have ANY idea as to what township your William W. Smith was from and who any of his siblings might be? I suspect but don't know for sure that my Samuel may have been from either Springfield or Shrewsbury Township. Joan Joan
