*  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.
