Eastern Standard Time, montroseaussies@stny.rr.com writes: Huldah Beals, sister of Abigail Beals, wife of Rev. John Smith, who with Harry Grover, Elias and Francis Needham and others with their families emigrated to Kentucky.â€ This is a misprint and Abigail Beals was actually the mother of Alice Andrews wife of Rev. John Smith. Happy New Year Kelsey! FWIW, I have Rev. John Smith's mother in law as ALICE (Beal) Andrews. [Alice Beal was the daughter of Stephen and Alice (Crocker) Beal of Hingham MA and was born Nov. 2, 1739. She died in Dighton MA, June 13, 1808 aged 68 and is buried next to husband Captain Elkanah Andrews (d Essequibo, British Guiana, South America, June 11, 1787, aged 55) at Dighton's Old Congregational Church (now Unitarian) where son in law Rev. John Smith was pastor for 29 years.] I'm interested in the trails of these Smith forebears but don't currently have more info re. who travelled to Kentucky. Re. Clement F. Heverly mistaking an "Abigail Beals" for Rev. John Smithâ€™s wife, ALICE (Beal) Andrews, a possible source for confusion may be that Rev. John Smithâ€™s third son was Col. Elkanah Smith (b. 10 June 1781 Dighton, MA), who m. Abigail Beal (b. 24 Mar 1789 Oxford, NY).

[by the next year (1754) the Susquehannah Company secured from some Indian chiefs a dubious deed to a large tract of land along the Susquehannah River.] So far searchable online in two of the three volumes of A History of Wilkes-BarrÃ©, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania: This John Smith appears about 30 times in Vol. 1: "John and Phebe (Peirce) Smith were the parents of four sons and six daughters as follows: i.

He married Huldah Beals, sister of Abigail Beals, wife of Rev. John Smith, who with Harry Grover, Elias and Francis Needham and others with their families emigrated to Kentucky.” This is a misprint and Abigail Beals was actually the mother of Alice Andrews wife of Rev. John Smith. Rev. John Smith and Alice Andrews had settled in Wells Township. In 1812 Phineas Chapman Morgan of Columbia Township went to Kentucky with three others (names not given) to seek a better location as they had lost their land by failing to sustain their Connecticut claim, but after spending several months returned (Northern Tier Gazette, Troy, Pennsylvania, March 26, 1868). Is anyone researching these several families who removed to Kentucky in 1812 or know of all of the families who were involved in the move to Kentucky? Besides Phineas Chapman Morgan, Rev. John Smith also returned. J.
