Children:
In the 1840 census there are the following unknown - may be children, or may be unrelated:
Male born between 1826-1830
Female born between 1835-1840
Female between 1826-1830
Female born 1821-1825
Known Children:
Stephen Smith Dec. 26, 1822
Jonas Smith 1828-1899
Jane Smith Abt.1831 M. Andrew Ellis
James Smith Abt 1832-1839
George Smith 1834-1902
Levi Smith 1838 -
Samuel Smith - 1840
John Smith 1847-
Jonathan Smith 1848
Sarah 1854-
There is a Sarah, Age 6, in the 1860 census. Jonas, his wife and their daughter Hannah are also on there.. But Sarah is not theirs. Born in 1854, Hannah would have been 51 when she was born. Possible? But she is not there in 1870, at age 16, so I am not convinced.
1830 Census
Sarah 1854-
There is a Sarah, Age 6, in the 1860 census. Jonas, his wife and their daughter Hannah are also on there.. But Sarah is not theirs. Born in 1854, Hannah would have been 51 when she was born. Possible? But she is not there in 1870, at age 16, so I am not convinced.
1830 Census
Name: John Smith
Home in 1830 (City, County, State): Derry, Columbia, Pennsylvania
Free White Persons - Males - Under 5: 1 (Jonas?)

Free White Persons - Under 20: 2
Free White Persons - 20 thru 49: 2 (Hannah & )
Total Free White Persons: 5
Total - All Persons (Free White, Slaves, Free Colored): 5
In 1830 John & Hannah have been married for 10 years. He would be 34 in this census. I only have record of two children being born before 1830 - Stephen & Jonas but there were likely others. Still none of his children could have been over 15.. and it doesn't account for Stephen being around age 7.. I'm not convinced this is John & Hannah.
