−
*  [[1826 Wayne County Ohio Tax List (book_]] In the 1826 tax list, there is a Nicholas Smith, wife unknown, with property in [[Milton Township, Wayne County, Ohio]]. This is the only occurrence of Nicholas Smith in [[Milton Township, Wayne County, Ohio]].  I do not have any additional information on this Nicholas Smith.  He may be one of the same or he could be another individual here for a short time.
 
−
*  There is a guardianship for minor children of Nicholas Smith: James and Catherine.  James guardian was Josiah [[Hitchcock (surname)|Hitchcock]] and bondsmen James [[McFadden (surname)|McFadden]].  Catherine’s guardian is listed as James [[McFadden (surname)|McFadden]] and bondsmen Josiah [[Hitchcock (surname)|Hitchcock]].  These are date 1836.
 
−
*  There is a Nicholas Smith with wife Leah Tracey (married Wayne Co, 26 Nov 1826) who purchased property with J. McFadden in [[Salt Creek Township, Wayne Co, Ohio]].  He died intestate June 1838.  There are also guardianship papers for McCoy, Elias, and Phebe Smith, all minor children of Nicholas Smith.  The bondsmen for these guardianships were Ben [[Lawrence (surname)|Lawrence]] and Adam [[Geitgey (surname)|Geitgey]], dated 1838.  This Nicholas Smith owned property in [[Salt Creek Township, Wayne County, Ohio]] and [[Wooster Township, Wayne County, Ohio]].

−
*  Nicholas and wife Elizabeth owned property in [[East Union Township, Wayne County, Ohio]] and [[Wooster Township, Wayne County, Ohio]].  This Nicholas Smith was very active in the community and held several political positions.  He is descendant from Philip [[Schmidt (surname)|Schmidt]]. Nicholas and Elizabeth had no children of their own, as mentioned in the Philip [[Schmidt (surname)|Schmidt]] family history.  However, they raised the children of Nicholas Smith’s brother.  This particular Nicholas Smith [[died]] 1832.  There were four children of this Nicholas Smith listed in his will: George, Valentine G., Allen, and Sarah Smith.  (Note: These were the probable children of Nicholas’ deceased brother George.)
 
−
*  Nicholas and wife Abigal Smith.  They owned property in [[Franklin Township, Wayne County, Ohio]].  He died intestate September/October 1839.  Based on his approximate age given in the US census records, he was born between 1780 and 1790.  He left minor children as named in guardianship papers: George P. Smith, Henry A. Smith, and Eleanor Smith.  This family ultimately moved west, landing in the [[Washington Territory]].  I am not sure of their presence from October 1844 until the family appears in the 1860 census for Washington Territory.
