I am looking for information on Wiley B. Smith and his wife Mary Frances Smith?
I am looking for parents/grandparents/siblings/anyone related to Wiley B. Smith and his Wife Mary Frances Smith. Wiley born Sept. 6 1842-Jan. 17 1917 and Mary born Aug. 11 1843-Sept. 6 1912. They lived around Caldwell County Missouri and are buried in Hamilton Missouri. Any info or leads would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
Ted Pack is on the right lead when he looks at the William Bennett family, since Wiley was there for over 10 years for 2 census gatherings. There is a marriage record for Wiley Smith in Caldwell Co., Missouri, which shows he married Mary Newell on 7/29/1866 in Caldwell Co., Missouri. You can look it up at familysearch.org and search for Wiley Smith with ‘marriage only’ and specify a year range around 1865, which is when I figured he would have gotten married based on the ages of Wiley’s children in 1880.
There is also a record for Abigail Potts marrying William Bennett at familysearch.org, and it shows that Abigail had married a Smith about 1833 in Tennessee. This family file had mixed the children from William Bennett’s first marriage with Abigail’s children from her first marriage (if she was actually married to a Smith first), but the family file does show that William Bennett’s mother was a Smith, also. That could be the family tie of Bennett to Smith. Hope that helps!
