First Generation
1. John R. Smith [123935]1 was born on 28 Oct 1808 in Sandy Lake, New York, USA2 and died on 9 Sep 1883 in Sumpter, Wayne, Michigan, USA3 at age 74. The cause of his death was old age.3 General Notes: Possibly: SMITH, J. R., farmer, Parish, b. Oswego, N.Y., s 1808, p.o. add. Parish (probably not as there is a James R. Smith that matches this description and has a different wife)
There is a John Smith living next-door to John Thurston in Vernon, Oneida, New York and has one son living with him age 16+ (which would be a couple of years off from John). However, the proximity to the Thurston family makes it a good chance that this is John R. Smith's father. If that's the case, then John R. Smith's father is also a John Smith, who was 45+ in 1820 so would be born before 1775.
Son Francis' death certificate: Says he was born in New York City
There is a Sandy Creek in Oswego County, not a Sandy Lake. Sand Lake in Rensselaer County A Sand Bank
In a St. Lawrence County Methodist Church marriage list, there is a groom born in Sandy Lake, NY and bride born in Gouverneur, NY in 1918 by pastor J. Hascall - one mention of a Sandy Lake. Verification of the newspaper article shows that it was really Sand Lake, NY.
Alternate birth date listed as 29 Sep 1808.
He is NOT in the list of baptisms for the Zion Lutheran / Evangelical in West Sandlake, New York
1830 Census: Most likely in Vernon, Oneida, New York - same town as John Thurston and there is a John Smith head of household that matches the age and one female 20-30 (which would be slightly older for Eliza Thurston if her birth year was correct)

BIRTH Thurston Genealogies book: 28 Oct 1808 in Sandy Lake, New York - There is no Sandy Lake, New York - There is a Sand Lake, Rensselaer County, New York (considered most likely based on evidence and research of related families), and there is a Sandy Creek, Oswego, New York son Francis Leonard Smith death certificate says he was born in New York City - it also says that Francis was born in Albany, New York, but this would not seem possible since they were in Oswego by then. Albany might be a location for John, or some other part of the family.

From Ancestry.com Message Board "I'm looking for info on Thomas Roach b. Ireland. Thomas married Ellen Easton c. 1918 Los Angeles, CA. They show up on the 1920 Los Angeles County Census with one child a 1 1/2 year old girl, Frances. There could be 2 other children born after 1920 (boys). On the 1900 Los Angeles Co. Census, he gives his age as 27, so he was probably born in 1893. My great Aunt Ellen Easton lived in Bisbee, AZ where her sister (my Grandma ) ran away with a miner (My Grandpa ) and got married in LA in 1915, so it's entirely possible that Thomas Roach was also a miner when Ellen met and married him a couple years later. The mine in Bisbee was called the Copper Queen.
By 1924, Thomas left with his children, never to be heard from again. Ellen re-married in 1927 and had 4 more children who are my second cousins . My great aunt Ellen died last year aged 99 and told her daughter this story, and asked her to find the other children. My second cousins would love to find these half sisters and brothers. Any clues would be greatly appreciated!"
"My Grandparents Ellen and Thomas were divorced in California with Grandfather keeping the boys. Grandmother is said to have remarried and given birth to twins."77
