Walden, a cousin found a Benjamin Smith son of Thaddeus and Anne Hise Smith b 1 Jan 1787. Doesn't state where he was born, but that his father was born in NJ, lived in that area until 1803, then to Shamokin on the Susquehanna Rive, May 1804 bought home in Northumberland Co, but in 1810 he is in the Springhill twp of Fayette Co. PA Census. Under Benjamin it states he married in PA around 1810 to Elizabeth _____. They went to Belmont Co. OH then probably to IN exact place was unknown in this publication. Several children were born but only Mary Ann Smith b 28 Oct 1815 is listed. My line comes thru this Benjamin's brother, Eli C. and Elizabeth Rouanzoin Smith. Their son, George Washington Smith was born Jan 2, 1817 in Fayette Co. PA. Hope some of this helps. If you can find this publication it would be a great help. A cousin who is now deceased did this research and I don't know where he found it. Pat
