Individual Details

In 1813, Robert Smith was charged by the Overseers of the Poor with "being the father of a child begotten in the body of Mary Harmon, a single woman". Mary would have been about age 31, if her speculated birth is correct from the 1850 census - of course it is possible that the Mary in 1850 is not even the same person.
