I am the great, great, great, great granddaughter of Sophia Perrigo and Wm Nathaniel Smith. Sophia was born 7-18-1803 in NJ. She died 3-18-1901 at the Old Soldier's Home in Grand Rapids, Kent, MI and is buried in the cemetery at the home. She and William, who died sometime before the family's move from Independence Township, Oakland,MI (this property was purchased by William in 1838.)to Portland, Ionia , MI by the 1850 census, had the following children-- 1. Lewis C Smith b. 1833 NJ (info from death cert.) d. 1910 MI; 2. Alvin T Smith (my line) b. 1828 Tompkins Co, NY d. 1890 MI; 3. David P Smith b. 1833 NY d. 1921 MI; 4. Mary L. Smith (Stowell, Fralick)b.1835 NY d. 1877 MI; 5. Emily Smith (Hunt) b. 1837 MI d. 1910 MI; 6. William Harrison Smith b. 1839 MI d. MI; 7. Edward A Smith b. 1841d. 1928 MI. I have lots more info on this family and their descendents. Still have been unable to locate either William or Sophia's parents. However I believe I have located one of Sophia's brothers.
