Smith, and his wife Jane (Mclaren) Smith had 5 children. In the 1870 Census in Detroit, Michigan, John is 53, Jane is 40. The children are Kittie, 6, Charles 3 ,Alice 1. The same family is in the 1880 Census. Charles, 13, Ada 7,and George 5. Alice and Kittie are not in the 1880 Census. I found out later that Alice had died Dec 3, 1875.Do not know what happened to Kittie.( Ada married Henry V. Catlin June 6, 1894) Thanks. Jeannine
