      note - who is Corlines? There is a Charles Merwine in the records shortly after this.
      maybe it's Catharine? (see 1850 census)

      **********************************************************************
      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."

      Death Records Van Wert County, Ohio, Vol. 1, page 152

      SMITH, Sarah A. d. 1878 Aug 5 Tully Township, V.W. CO., Ohio
      71y married, b. Pennsylvania, Lung Fever

      1882 History of Van Wert and Mercer Counties, Ohio page 228
      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?)
