  Notes	About 1827, William went to Keene, Coshocton County, Ohio. His wife Elizabeth and their six daughters set out in 1828 to join him. They traveled by wagon to Troy, New York; by barge to Buffalo; by boat on Lake Erie to Cleveland and by wagon to Keene, Ohio. Martha and her older sister were married on the same day some three months later. Elizabeth married Enos Emerson and Martha married Sidney Smith. Martha Smith had nine children. In 1856 when her youngest child Leroy was eight years old, she set out with her husband for a new home in Iowa. After his death three years later, she continued on the farm with her daughter Hattie and the two younger sons Christie (13) and Leroy (11). Christie later went away to school and into the Methodist ministry, but Leroy remained with his mother on the farm. They built a large barn, all of native lumber except the shingles, and about 1872 built a large two story house. Six of her children lived in Iowa. Francis, who had gone to California by way of Cape Horn during the gold rush days and later settled at Salem, Oregon, came home twice to visit. Martha Smith died in 1885 and was buried in the Linn Grove Cemetery.
