Surname: SMITH, MAGRANNIS, MOODY, NASH
-------------------------

My Smith family descended from Lt. Samuel Smith who arrived in America
in 1634 from England.
My grandfather was Frank Herbert Smith who was born in South Hadley( I
think)about 1864-65. His parents were Edward Lowell Smith and Adeline Magrannis
( or Magranis). They had 9 children. I am trying to find the names of these
children.
I do know that one brother was Leonard Nelson Smith b. 1879. He was superintendant
of the Pearl River Paper Mill in South Hadley.
I also want to learn where Frank was born.
Also it would be great to learn more about this family in terms of occupation,
community involvement, and church affiliation.
I have " History of Hadley, Mass." by Judd with the "Family Genealogies"
by Boltood included in the book. All of my ancestors are in this book.
But I need information about Adeline and Edward and their children. Adeline
and Edward were married at the First Congregational Church in South Hadley(
letter from David Morrell). Mrs Cronin at the South Hadley Historical Society
provided me with the lineage back to 1634. I wrote back asking for more
information. She responded and referred me to the book that I mentioned
above.
Edward Lowell Smiths mothers maiden name was Harriet MOODY. His grandmothers
maiden name was Phoebe NASH.
I live in Louisiana and therefore do not have access to the records in
South Hadley.

Thank you so much.
