Hi Margo Nothing much to report other than that John Smith's son the first Cheney/China Smith also was in the Rev. War. Bonnie had been doing a computer search to see if anyone else has posted this line. As you will see below she didn't come up with anything other than that her independent work confirms what you already have. See below. She also found that Josiah Jr was in Lake Mills in 1854. There is an article in a Jefferson History book about his brother Harvey. I also have asked one of our CGAHS members who is a DAR member to check to see if the application was filed. Now I will be the one to go to work. As soon as I can fit it in, I will go to the Wsiconins Historical Library and check the DAR records to see if anyone else has filed with John Smith or Chaney Smith for an ancestor. I will also go to Jefferson and see if there are any records for Josiah.

Found some burials (as well as Cheney who for certain died in 1831 Oneida Co.). Followed Ebenezer & Charles' children a bit to see what was going on with them. Looks like Cheney was living with Charles in early census and Cheney may have remarried after the death of Lydia Potter. Cheney was a Capt. in the Rev. War. Do you have that? After Dad died, Charles and family took off for Kane Co, IL, where they died. Ebenezer died in Oneida Co. 1842. Ebenezer and Charles married Ayer girls. I think they were sisters. I've picked up some history about the family that may or may not be included in The Smith Genealogy. Yes, I saw the Munson connection but didn't copy. I can do that if you like. I would only want the extended Smith family if in some way it would help Elaine. It's a lot to enter so if she already has it, I should spend time in another way. Strangely, this Smith work was not hard. Brown was impossible! But these guys were right where they were supposed to be in every census. Badda bing, badda boom!
