Charles M. Smith b. 1892 in Plant City, Hillsborough Co., FL,
I am seeking information on the ancestry of Charles Merrin Smith, born April 26, 1892 in Plant City, Hillsborough County, FL to John M. Smith and Sarah Jane Warrender, who were married on April 9, 1891. According to family members Charles was a Baptist. Charles married Elizabeth McMahon in New York City, NY in April 1919. He died in St. Albans, NY on June 19, 1941.
Sarah Jane Warrander was born in Connecticutt in February, 1865.She was living with her father and two of her brothers according to the 1900 Census of Hillsborough Co. Charles and John were not living with her at that time.
Sarah Jane Warrander's parents were Charles Albert Warrander, born Manchester, England in 1825 and Mary A. Hughes, born in England about 1827.The family emigrated to Tolland County, CT in 1852.After Mary A. Hughes' death,in the early 1880s,Charles Albert Warrnder and some of his children moved to Hillsborough County, FL.
I have no other information on John M. Smith and would welcome any help.
I have found a John M. Smith, age 4, in the 1870 census of Hillsborough Co., FL living with George W. Smith and Caroline (O'Neal is my best guess). I have not been able to tie the two John M. Smiths together.
Thank you for your help.
