    1. [VTORA] Apphia SMITH married Richard GOODWIN 1807 Tunbridge, VT
    2. Alger and Walcott Family
    3. Hello – I am researching Apphia SMITH who married Richard GOODWIN in Tunbridge, VT in 1807. She was born about 1787. Neither her marriage record nor her death record list her parents or her place of birth. She died in Glover, VT in 1843. She and Richard moved to the Glover, Orleans Co/Sheffield, Caledonia Co. area sometime after their marriage. They had at least 5 children. Researching Smiths in Tunbridge runs one smack into the family of the Morman prophet Joseph SMITH. From what I can pick up on the internet, I don’t think Apphia was of this family. Two brothers – Joseph and Stephen SMITH – settled in Tunbridge early, coming from New Durham, NH in 1794. Apparently they were sons of Josiah and Apphia (Smith) Smith. Although the names Joseph and Stephen are found in the family that would become Mormans, I don’ t think these are the same people. I speculate that Apphia was a daughter of Josiah and Apphia. The name Apphia was not that common at that time. By the way – Josiah and Apphia also came to Tunbridge, as both died there. There was also an Obadiah SMITH in Tunbridge early. If anyone has a lead on the Smiths of Tunbridge, I would appreciate it!
