I have some data combed from ancestry and from Familysearch.org. I also have some research that my step-father-in-law's dad did. My oldest relative in that line is John Smart b. 1791 in St. Wenn, Cornwall England. I found 2 sons, Henry b. 1824 and John b. 1829, and a daughter named Genefer b. 1833. I got this from 1851 England Census. If I remember there were several John Smarts, but this was the best fit. His son, John, was your great grandparent. My step FIL came from his son John b. 1867 d. 1918, an older brother of Clara. I have Clara born abt 1879 in Iowa, but hadn't really looked into her yet. Here is a list of all the siblings of Clara i have: Mary Jane b. 1858 in Bodmin, Cornwall, England Jessie b. 1863 same place John b. 1867 same place Felix b. 1870 in England Albert b. 1873 in Iowa Elizabeth b. 1875 in Iowa Susan b. 1877 in Iowa Let me know if this matches what you have or not. Let me know if you need anymore specifics. I don't have many death dates, but haven't spent as much time on this line as I do on my own. I'm always glad to share info.
