My Ggrandmother was Hattie Lee Davis. She was born in 1873 in Clermont County Ohio. She married Charles W. Smith in 1892 in Cincinnati, Ohio. They had a son James Robert Smith born in 1894 in Cincinnati. Hattie is found in the home of Joseph Fennell as a cook in Kenton County Ky, in 1900. It says she is married for 8 years and has 1 child which is correct. But I cannot find Charles or James in the 1900 census anywhere. By 1908 Hattie is remarried to George Usborne from Cincinnati. On her marriage record it says that she is previously widowed. Which means that Charles had died between 1900 and 1908. Well needless to say I have searched for 12 years for information on Charles with no luck. Is there anyone out there that may have a Charles W. in their line that might connect to mine. My father was born in 1925 to James Robert Smith in Florence Graves Smith in Joliet Illinois. I dont know what would have taken them out to Illinois where my father was born, possibly family. I have not been able to trace any of my Smith roots past my grandfather James Robert Smith. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Rose
