Joni, I think we are mixed up with a Bev and a Beverly. I am Beverly Leach in Corpus Christi, but the Bev in the story below is someone else. None of that family history is my story. My story is the one with John Smith b PA and Mahala Virgin Smith b KY and Joseph Madison Smith their son. There is a William Smith in Greenup Co in the 1850s that had a big family

Are you possitive that William was born in England ?? Most Smiths were over here way before that. I'm leaning towards that we don't have a match. But I'm still working on it. I know what you are going through. I'm taking a trip to the court house shortly for some records. I have two William Smiths in my family, both born in the early 1800's range. And the Deahl family, could they be spelled...Dehl ?? Check that out.

I'll keep in touch,

Joni

Joni, I cannot believe a match is in the making. I am so excited I need immediate feedback before I faint. Beverly

This list seems to be getting a little active again. SO once again I will
post what I am looking for and what I need and hope someone else out there is
looking for the same.

My great grandfather, William H Smith. (why didn't they name him Hector or
Oscar??) anyway. William was born 1835-37 somewhere in England. And came to
the US in 1842 I have checked Ellis Island and found hundreds of William
Smith coming to the US. There is a William Smith coming on the Thomas P Cope,
landing in Philly, but without parents that is the best match, but no
conclusive evidence. There are 2 other Smith children arriving with him at that
time, One is Francis, the other I can't make out. All of them seem to be
living in an orphanage
My William married Eliza Anne Deahl b 5 sept 1831, d/o of Jacob and Sarah
Burke Deahl from Stoycetown, Somerset Co Pa. They had 2 chlidren, John, and
Agatha
Shortly after the birth of Agatha in Maryland, Eliza died. William then
married her first cousin, Elizabeth or Elisabeth Deahl born 29 May 1857 and d/o
of Simon and Catherine Sliger Deahl. Together, they had 13 children,
Simon, Julia, Mary, Lucy, Daniel, Maude Della, Orpha Daisy, George, Charles,
Bertha, and William Jr. I have been searching for almost 16 years on any
information for William. I do know that the last 9 chlidren were born in Preston
Co, West Virginia.
is anyone looking for this Smith or Deahl family, or maybe even Sligers?
I am at a very thick brick wall right now. I would be happy to exchange
information.

Be Well and God Bless
Bev
