I have an extensive list from Pioneer Families of the Midwest: Vol. 2 by Blanche L. Walden. I don't see a Wm. Adam Smith. Do you have his parents names or any siblings? My line is Myself, Pat Coop Howk Lowell Dwight Coop Elsa Adaline Coop Smith Eli (Jr. he had an uncle Eli) Smith David Tanner Smith and Ruth Ann Bailey George Washington Smith and Sarah Tanner Eli C. Smith and Elizabeth Rouanzion Thaddius Smith and Ann Hise Eli C's family must have been in Morgan Co by 1823. George W and Sarah were married there. All their children appear to be born there. David Tanner Smith was married there i n 1868, but the second child was born here in Davis Co. IA May of 1870. Their next child, Eli, my greatgrandfather was born in MOrgan Co. The story has always been told me they came here then went back to OH to get their things and Eli was born there then they returned to IA. Their 4th child Mary Ann was born here in Nov 1877. They have an older child, Martha, that died as a toddler after eating on a discarded corn cob. My information is from a family cousin that did a lot of research, but is now deceased. Pat
