Jesaias (Josiah) 1852, sp parents (at Kimmel)

death certificate says:
5Oct 1827 - 4 Sep 1907
widower
father Danial Smith, born Penna
mother Harriet Wetzel, born Mahantonga

informant Josiah Smith, Deep Creek or Higgins __?

No doctor or corroner, fell from back of mule on head either a fracture of skull or of spine

The problem is that Harriet Wetzel was this Daniel's wife.So the "mother" spot
is filled in with his wife. That begs the question of whether the informant Josiah
was thinking of his father (ie, Daniel) when they filled in that, or the deceased Daniel's
father. It's not clear to me that this is enough evidance to say that Daniel's father
was a Daniel Senior.

The one letter from Jesse Smith (who went to Ohio) referred to "Daniel Smith's boys"
which I had already guessed was the father of the nearby Barry Twp boys. So
I was happy to see Daniel Smith listed as the father of this Daniel. Still, as mentioned
above, I have reservations on accepting this theory yet.

Daniel married Harriet WETZEL 6 Jul 1851, Barry Twp, Schuylkill Co, PA. Harriet was born 5 Aug 1829; died 20 Jun 1891, Barry Twp, Schuylkill Co, PA. [Group Sheet]
