(Records from SMITHS of Smithfield, Jefferson Co., VA by Jodie & Herb Depke
This is an attmept to identify Martha Jane SMIth, possible a daugther of John and Jane Smith (4). Referring to Madison Co. OH Marriage book, "A" James Douglas Jr. to Martha Jane Smith 20 Feb 1845, this seems to be the confusing stituation with this family in teh 1850 Census for Madiosn CO., OH. The only match in the 1860 Census is for a James Douglas, Pickaway Co., Darby Twp, pg. 59. This census entry is for James Duglass, age 36 and Rebecca Duglas, age 30, which must be the same family as the first entry below. Martha Jane (Smith) Duglass who married James Duglass, Jr. in 1845 might be a widow in the 1850 Census.DWELLING 141:

Her mother died when she was about 12 years old if I remember correctly then he married Elizabeth Cooper Gause and she was a mother to Rebecca and the other children. If I remember correctly Rebecca was married at about the age of nineteen to Henry B. Harvey of Lancaster Co., Penn. to this she proved to be a true companion and help mate doing what she could to help make a living and to care for there family. She was a woman that was kind and patient and to the five of there chidlren that grew to man and womanhood. She ever taught them to trust in that Savior to whom she trusted and when she was so afflicted with spinal trouble and the doctors wanted her to give up trying to walk around she
would not promise them she would but when she spent a night in prayer for strength she told her husband to fix her bed as it has bin requested it should be. It was got and fixed with a sod floor and a thin husk matris and she was helped on the bed and laid down and was not up for over four years, not a murmer to complaint escaped her lips.She was patient and kind. She got strength in this time so she could be up and walk and with a cane she would walk to her son Charleys a quarter of a mileor so. But in January 1875 her last illness came on such severe headache and at last her spirit going back to God who gave it thus a lving wife and a kind and loving mother left her loved ones in the care of her master.
