R/S MAK http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiportag +++++ I found the Reuben Smith Family on the 1860 Census in Linwood. I am not sure where they were prior to Lindwood but I found them in Columbia County in 1870. I am looking for anyone who is researching this family or can enlighten me on this family. I am particularly interested in the 6th son of this family, Eber Euphratis Smith born Jan 1860. He wasn't on the 1860 Census but he was on the 1870, age 10. I am wondering if he was born in Portage County or Columbia County at this point. Judy <j_mcconville2002@yahoo.com+++>
