Trying to find information on Erastus Smith from New Hartford, Oneida County, New York. Born to Hamilton and Lucy Smith in the 1830s and died in Oceana County, Michigan. Nancy Ella Smith vanished or absconded from Osceola County. Michigan with another man in 1895. May have had one son, Will Smith, after her departure. I have Ella born in Franklin, Lenewee County, Michigan in 1860. She married Elon Boyce in 1873. In 1884 Elon and Ella were in Forest City, Iowa. In 1889 the couple was back in Evart, Osceola County, Michigan. I also have her on the Richmond Township, Osceola County Census for 1880. The household was Elon and Ella Boise. She states that she was born in Iowa, but her marriage license states Michigan. Thanks Chuck Robinson

Chuck Robinson, West Branch MM in Oneida was formerly named New Hartford MM and included a New Hartford (originally Bridgewater) PM from 1828-1865: http://www.quakermeetings.com/viewRecord_display?anID=TST1960L The records have been microfilmed in the LDS system, but I do not know if they have yet been indexed in the on-going New York YM project. If so, that would be in the Friends Historical Library at Swarthmore. I cannot identify any meetings in Osceola or Oceana County, Michigan. Perhaps the monthly meeting was in a nearby county.
