Philinda was born in Preston, Chenango Co. NY on November 20, 1825 to Jedediah Smith and Sally Wilcox. Sally and Jedediah were married on September 25, 1884. Jedediah was born in New London CT on May 10, 1802 and died in Deerfield MI on March 1, 1883. Sally was born in Preston, Chenango Co, NY on October 10, 1803 and died in Sherman, NY on September 17, 1836. Jedediah and Sally had three children - Philinda, Lewis, and Emeline. (Lewis is my direct ancestor). Jedediah married again and had two more children - Susan and Eliot J.

I have much to share with someone who has found Philinda as a "brick wall" in a search. I'd be happy to share family info.

The 1870 census index shows a HENRY CROOK in Webster County IA Wahkonsa page 516. I'm in North Yorkshire UK and would like to find out if this could be a long lost relative who emigrated from UK in early 1860's. His wife would be ANGELINA or Elizabeth lso born UK.

I haven't found the gravesite of my great grandfather, Willian CURRAN. I believe he died Jan 1913-14, Vinton, IA. I can't find anything on him at all. If I didn't know better. I'd think he was hiding from me!
He was married to Bridget BREEN who is buried in Livermore, Sacred Heart Cemetery, IA. She died 22 Feb 1924, in Eagle Grove.
Any Ideas?
