Smith b.11-4-1810 Hillsborough, OH d.10-2-1902 Dallas County, IA Hello-my data states George had two wives. There is uncertainty on the maiden name of the first wife, the one I am descended from. I have that her maiden name was Mary A. Bonsal, b.5-2-1809 VA died 1-25-1860 in Dallas Co., IA The problem is, no one has any record of her that I have been able to tell. George's second wife was Mary Ann Mendenhall, b.10-12-1814, d.9-2-1896. Can anyone clear up the mystery of the name of George's first wife? Started out in Spring Creek MM, thru Pleasant Plain MM, ended up in Bear Creek MM. I am descended from the Barnett's that came from this line. Thanks alot!! Sheri Mahnke
