2218. Louisa SMITH (Jacob SMITH , Elizabeth MECHLING , Jacob , John Theobald , Theobald) was born in 1859 in Wyandot Co., Ohio. She died before 1893.

[Mercy I-98] notes: "There is some discrepancy about the child known as Sillina G.  She is listed on the 1880 Census, but she is not mentioned in the "Vogt-Foucht Family History" as being a child of Louisa and Nelson Bowlby.  This same history lists Grace's birthdate as 1889, and Homer's birthdate as 1888, but on the 1880 Census he is listed as being 2 years old."

Louisa married Nelson BOWLBY. Nelson was born on 18 Oct 1854.

He is the son of Emanuel & Sarah (Stall) Bowlby.

Emery married [UNKNOWN].

They had the following children.

  5616 M i Ferdinand SMITH was born about 1881.

[Mercy I-98] doesn't explicitly list Ferdinand as Emery's child.  However, since Emery's siblings were all female or died young, and since Ferdinand's last name is given as Smith, I'm presuming this is where he belongs.

Emery also married Effie WOOD in 1894. Effie was born in Aug 1868.

She is the daughter of John Wood.

They had the following children.

  5617 F ii Nadene SMITH was born in Dec 1898.

  5621 F i Bessie M. SMITH was born in Jun 1892.

[Mercy I-98] does not explicitly list Bessie as Otto's daughter.  However, her last name is given as Smith and Otto's brother, Harry, has children living with him at the time of the 1900 Census.  So, I'm somewhat arbitrarily assigning her here.
