We're not sure this Cyrus was the son of John whose mother appears to be Agnes b abt 1797. The correct Cyrus was in 1900 census West Virginia Brooke Wellsburg T 623 Roll 1756 Pg 262 Line 85 169 Queens StSmith CM 44 male white b Pa Grocer rents home married 19 yrs Annie age 44 b Pa Jan 1856 6 births 6 alive par b Pa
but not necessarily the son of John Smith 44 b Pa male white teamster married to Susannah 35 in the 1870 census Pa Westmoreland West Newton M 593 Roll 1466 Pg 679 Line 12 201 (no street name) actual page 24 as their son Cyrus was 11 in 1870 and our Cyrus should have been 14!
;however, there IS another possibility in 1870 census elsewhere in Westmoreland County: Unity Twp Crab Tree M 598 Roll 1466 Pg 723 375 (no street name)
Smith Ephraim age 52 male white b Pa farmer had a son Cyrus who was 15 b Pa and that, is much closer to the right age! This, then, could be the Cyrus Smith who, married the daughter of Ann Mills in 1880.
