daughter. She was living with Robert and Elizabeth Welch in the 1850 census of Ross Co., Ohio, Jefferson Twp. Dist 131. She died sometime after that as she is not found in further records with any of the family.In the Baptismal, burial records of The Parish of Sigglesthorne, Yorkshire, England are some Smith names which are probably closely related to Ann Smith, as they also are listed as from Seaton.
