...Carats designate Fern's additions. Parentheses are shown as they are in the genealogical material, but I have added them to the notecard at the beginning. Brackets enclose comments that I made for clarification. Double underscore begins a page. (See Daniel Smith, 1807-1893, for the complete letter.) JDS
--- Clay Township. Other Early Settlers. "1832...Daniel Smith..."
... Clay Township. The First Death. "There were then [1830] no cemeteries in Clay, and many of her pioneer citizens sleep 'the sleep that knows no waking' in graves more or less remote from the scene of their labors. The Farley Cemetery, in Delaware Township, and the Whitinger Cemetery, in the northern part of Marion County, were the usual burial places until 1838."

Birth, Spouse, Residence, Notes/Quotes
--- "Harrison Carah W...males...(< 5) 2, (20 to 30) 2...females...(< 5) 1, (5 to 10) 1, (15 to 20) 1, (20 to 30) 1..."
...There is an extra male in the 20 to 30 yr. range and a female who is not the daughter of Carah Harrison and his wife in the 15 to 20 yr. range living in this household. My speculation at this point in my research is that the fellow is Daniel Smith (b. 1807) and the gal is Nellie Harrison (Daniel's first wife). They had been married two years at the time of this census and it would be two years more before they would acquire property by land grant in Clay Twp., Hamilton Co., and then another year and a few months until Nellie dies childless. I have reason to believe that Nellie is Carah's sister. JDS
