Descendants of Anson Smith
Generation No. 1
1. ANSON2 SMITH (JEREMIAH1) was born January 1823 in Monroe County, Ohio, and died 1907 in Woodsfield, Monroe County, Ohio. He married (1) ELIZABETH CRONAN Bet. 1848 - 1849 in Monroe County, Ohio, daughter of MICHAEL CRONIN and PRISCILLA CRONAN. She was born Abt. 1827 in Monroe County, Ohio, and died January 03, 1857 in Monroe County, Ohio. He married (2) PERNINA UNKNOWN November 06, 1857 in Monroe County, Ohio, daughter of UNKNOWN SOUTH and UNKNOWN. She was born Abt. 1820 in Monroe County, Ohio.
Notes for ANSON SMITH:
September 25, 1850 Federal Census of Wanye Township, Monroe County, Ohio shows Prissilla Cronan as 78 years of age living in the home of her son in law Anson Smith, age 24 years, and his wife Elizabeth Cronan Smith, age 23 years, ( her daughter) along with one child Jerimiah shown as 6/12 ( 6 months of age) There was also a Margaret Cronan age 36 years living with them. Was this Elizabeths sister?
Note the spelling of the last name of Priscilla CRONAN on the 1850 Census.
All were shown as being born in Ohio.
July 20, 1860 Federal Census of Wayne Township shows more kids Sarah A., 8 years, Roseberry 9 years, Clara age 6 years, and Aaron age 3 years.
There were other children shown that were not on the 1850 Census and just the way they are listed makes me think they are not their children but relatives maybe. They were Mary A. age 16 years, Catherine A. age 14 years, and Anson age 1 year. That would have to be researched out to find where they came from. They might have come a previous marriage of Pernina.
The wife shows a name of Pernina Smith age 35 years. This is his new wife the other Elizabeth Cronan had died. The mother Priscilla Cronan of Elizabeth does not appear in 1860 nor does the Margaret Cronan that was possibly the sister or sister in law to Elizabeth. Due to her age, Priscilla, she could have died or when he remarried she moved out taking Margaret Cronan with her.
There are other Smitths two homes down Head of Family is Aaron Smith age 30 years with a large family. This man is a possible brother to Anson.
