Hi List,

Here is my Smith.

Adam Walton Smith born Pa. about 1830 -

1850 Census he is living with the family of Henry Gregg in Jefferson Twp.
Alleghany Co, Pa. and list his occupation as coal miner.

He marries Emily H. Gregg, daughter of Henry and Anna Carson Gregg about
1851. I found him and his family in the1860 Census living in Jefferson Twp.
but he is now a farmer. This continues through the 1880 census.

Adam died 1891 and is buried at Lebanon Church Cemetery, West Mifflin, Pa.
The 1880 census says his father was born in Pa. and his mother in England.
I've wondered if there is a connections to the Walton family living in their
area.

Here are the names of his children.

Thanks,
Lona Laughlin Boudreaux
Houston, Tx
