My Family Tree

A son named William was not in the PEI Baptismal Index for John and Sarah - some family trees say they had two sons named William, William A. and William Henry. The administration papers for the estate of Joseph Smith, who died in 1871, said that he was survived by his parents, his widow, three brothers, William, John and Robert of Lot 2, and three sisters, Elizabeth, Maria and Jane.

The family tree of William Henry Smith was strange - all over the United States - it seems unlikely he was John and Sarah's son.
