SMITH-LAMB
SMITH-LAMB
After years of searching, I've finally found Melinda C Smith in the 1860 Montgomery Co. IN census.
She is in the Lelfer household: Joseph-50, Martha E-44, Mary A-19, Lapol-17, Christain-14, Joseph-11, John-7, Melinda C Smith-3 (orphan).
I know she was born Nov. 5, 1857, married William Clark Lamb on June 20, 1891, and died Oct. 29, 1913; buried in Walnut Hill Cem, Daviess Co. IN.
I know her children, she was my GG Grandmother. This leaves me at a brick wall on her parents.
The name "Lelfer" is probably misspelled. I did not find them in the 1850 or 1870 Census. There are too many possibilities for "Smith" in the 1850 census and no way to connect them because she was not born yet. If anyone knows anything about either of these family, your help would be greatly appreciated.
