Bev Surnames: SMITH Researcher: Darla Email: [email protected] Date posted: Saturday, April 10, 1999 I'm seeking information on my SMITH line that settled in Wayne TWP Knox Co.,prior to 1830. They came from Sunbury,Northumberland Co.,Pennsylvania. My 4th greatgrandfather George W. SMITH born November 23,1822 was one of the children residing in this family. I have been informed by a Morrow Co. genealogist,who having seen the 1830 Wayne, Knox Co., census index, that the only head of household on the index was a Solomon SMITH. Does anyone have this genealogy? It is my guess, since their are no other SMITH's listed, that Solomon SMITH must be the father of George. I have had trouble trying to find someone that does research in Knox Co.

Larry Surnames: LAKE Researcher: Joyce Smith Email: [email protected] Date posted: Monday, April 12, 1999 Maggie, Could you check census records for Knox Co. 1820-1860 for LAKE family-Nicholas and Sarah. They were married in 1816 in OH and proceeded to have, we think!, nine children: Eliza, William, Charles, Perry, Lucinda, Martha, Sarah, Abigail, and Rebecca. I believe that Eliza was born in 1826 and William in 1840, the others I don't know. Eliza was married circa 1848 to Robert Zarley, and I would think they would be listed in the 1850 census also. It is my understanding the only heads of household were listed in 1830 (and perhaps other year also) but it would still be of help to know that Nicholas was listed as that would be proof he and his family were in residence there. I think I've gone over the 50 word limit but one more thing: I am trying to find out who Eliza's parents were as there is some thought that they were Ira and Adaline Lake, of Wayne Co. NY. We have found no confirming evidence one way or the other. Thank you.

Marge Surnames: ALLEN, LONG, LONGS Researcher: Linda Long Email: [email protected] Date posted: Friday, April 16, 1999 Family letters say that Jesse (William) ALLEN and Mary LONG came to Knox county from Pennsylvania.

I have a book tittled "Levering Family History and Genealogy" by Col. John Levering and published in 1898 by Levering Historical Assoc.
