Henry Smith is not found on the 1880 census so likely died between 1878 and
1880 (note: Sarah was still married at time of death in 1878) He is likely
buried next to Sarah, however, there is no headstone or marker on the grave.
(later found Henry in 1880 census)
"It isvery likely that MEL___ AND DOROTHY SMITH who are buried next to
Henry's wife and child are the parents of HENRY SMITH."

HENRY SMITH was born in Pennsylvania, Sept. 30, 1807, and married Miss
Sarah Mervine in 1829, moved to Stark County, Ohio, in 1830, and lived
there until 1840 when he came to Van Wert County and settled in Tully
township on 40 acres of land in section 26. After living there two
years he sold his land to George Beamer and entered 40 acres insection
8, and moved upon it. When he settled in the township he says there
were but six settlers, viz: John Morse, J.Wortman, John Baker, J.
Magner, Michael Anderson, and William Haney.
LDS source 1126138 mentions Henry, born in Philadelphia, son of Melari_ Smith
and Darathy. (what is this?)

Notes:
*NOTE: I'm not really sure that Melchior is the son of Nicholas Smith. That
is just a guess for now
*NOTE: OK, now I'm leaning toward being a son of a John and Magdalena
*NOTE: OK, now I'm leaning toward a son of John and Elisabeth
*NOTE: now I'm back to Nicholas
* November 2000 - got will of Elisabeth, single d/o Nicholas and Eve. Mentions
her siblings Melchior and Frantz. Now I'm convinced this is the right family after all.

tombstone says died 1849, age 75.
despite the slight difference in birth dates between the baptism and tombstone for
John Smith (which tombstone doesn't exist now), I think Melchior is the likely father.
Consider:
- the county history describes John Smith as being an early boat builder and carpenter
in Pottsville (which was part of Norwegian Twp originally).
- there was aMelchior Smith in Norwegian Twp in 1830 (census).
- a Henry Smith appears in nearby Barry Twp at that time. This Henry later appears
in Van Wert Co, OH. County histories there talk about them going from PA to Stark Co
and then to Van Wert. Henry's wife and Melchior and Dorothy are all buried together
(no stone for Henry).
- a letter exists from Jesse Smith to brother John Smith (in possession of a decendent
of John) mentioning "Henry" who is out in Ohio with him and appears to be a brother.
Jesse also mentions going back to "see the place" in Pottsville one more time.
- a marriage record appears for Jesse Smith and Nancy in Stark County (matching the
names in the 1850 census of Van Wert and the location of Henry Smith, as if they all
moved together to Startk Co and then Van Wert).
- Melchior Smith and Dorothea have several children baptized in the Reading area,
including a John (at the time this one would have been born) and a Joseway (Jesse?).
There is a gap in known baptisms where Henry's birth would fit. Also, the sponsor of a
Catharine Smith to Henry in 1831 would fit the Catharine d/o Melchior.
- In summary, it appears that Melchior was the father of all these people and that
he moved to Ohio, leaving at least John behind (or maybe John went and came back).
It's still not clear where some of theSmiths mentioned in Jesse's letter fit in (ie, John
and Daniel's kids).
Note: I wonder if the marriage at Trinity, Nicholas Schmidt to Dorothea Schmidtin
on 12 May 1799 could be a typo - maybe it's really Melchior?? There is no Nicholas in
any other church records of this time or the 1800 census. was it s/o Nicholas?

Notes:
The children of Nicholas are listed here are purely speculative and just for testing purposes!!
Oley burial record says Nicholas Schmidt died Jul 17, 1790, aged 76-7-6
(->born c1714) a son of Sebastian Schmidt and wf Christina. I suspect the age is
off! I'm saying he was abt 56. 11 Dec 1713 (note, an adjacent death also has
age at death as 76).

Notes:
Note that there are many records for Stephan Hauch's family. I haven't
founda family connection between him and Jacob. But for now, it helps
to organizethings this way.
I feel pretty strongly that Maria Catharine who married Jacob Herb belongs
here. The others are somewhat speculative. Not sure what happened to
Jacob Hauck. The name Hauck is somewhat common at this time. Maybe
Jacob moved on left his married children behind?
