John M SMITH

In 1880, John was a farm laborer in Delta, Eaton, Michigan, near the Lawrence family. George and Betsy Smith are living next to the Peter Grinnell family. If George and Betsy are in fact John's aunt and uncle, this might explain why John's working as a farmhand in Delta Township.

In 1881, John and Lola Smith are living in the John and Elizabeth Smith household in Mariposa Township, southern Victoria County, Ontario, Canada, with daughter Nellie Ma. born March 1881.
