Smith info was found on his tombstone in Sharon Cemetery, Moulton, Iowa and 1900 census records. Nancy Jane Rutledge info is from Census records,death cert., and her obit. Nancy was aka: Nannie and Jane Nancy Jane Rutledge stated in the 1900 census that she gave birth to 8 children, 6 of them living. All children listed above listed Nancy Jane as their mother in family records, but because there were 8 kids listed on the 1900 census with her, one was married, and living out of the home, and two were deceased, there must have been a previous marriage for Abner or Nancy Jane. Info for John W. Smith,was obtained from his prayer card and death cert. Death info for Raymond Smith was found on his tombstone. Death info for Bert Smith was found on the SSDI. In the Sharon Cemetery in Moulton, Iowa there are stones for Eva Smith infant daughter of A. and N.J. Smith, Clarence G. Smith,son of A. and N.J. Smith, and infant son of A.and A.J. Smith.
