Notes for WILLIAM L. SMITH:
Can't find him in the 1850 census.
Must have had extended family around in 1869 though, because I found this in the death records:
Smith, David or Daniel; d. Nov __ of Accident; age 10y; Parents: ???? & ? Smith; William L. Smith, uncle, reported.
I found a 1 yr old Daniel Smith living in the household of Daniel and Susan Smith in Sugar Grove, 1860. This child is not living with this family in 1870, so I conclude that this is the one mentioned above in the death information. Daniel is the son of Jacob Smith, son of John, according to the 1850 census. Roberta Eckerd's file on Ancestry.com has John Smith being the son of Henry Schmidt, born in Germany ca 1750.
