Elias Smith ²

  General Notes:

Note: Elias Smith's date of death was recorded as Dec 24, 1855 but the birthdate of his daughter Lizzie Ann is recorded as Oct 6, 1856. Obviously one is wrong -- further research is needed.

  Noted events in his life were:

• Census, 1800, Brunswick Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA. ³ Living in the household of Peter Smith are:
Males (born)
Under 10 (1791-1800) = 2 sons
10-15 (1785-1790) = 2 sons
16-25 (1775-1784) = 1 son
26-44 (1756-1774) = 1 father Peter
Females (born)
10-15 (1785-1790) = 1 daughter
26-44 (1756-1774) = 1 wife
More research is needed to confirm Peter Smith as his father but it appears to be correct.
