I am researching Uriel Smith who moved to Crawford Co.from Chautauqua CO, NY to live with his son Henry & family. I understand from a cousin that he died and is buried in Chapinville Cemetery in Rockdale Township. Henry is also buried there. Uriel's wife moved to IN and is listed in the 1870 census there so he would have died before that. Anyone know about this family? Also, does anyone have directions to Chapinville Cemetery? The map on the genweb site is not clear and there are no directions that I could find. Thanks so much.

I have a Smith line that also came from that area in NY and ended up in Crawford County. What time frame and any other info on this family? Would like to compare notes.

Uriel Smith b. 19 Sep 1784 in CT. Married Sallie Sampson b. 3 Feb 1802. They lived in Gerry NY (Chautauqua CO.) in census records. Also my GGG GRandma was born in Gerry. Because of age difference this is probably a 2nd marriage for Uriel. Also, the 1840 census has quite a few more children in the household than the 4 children Uriel and Sallie had. Their children are: Martin V.b. 4 July 1837; Nancy b. abt 1840; Henry b. abt 1842; and Jane Amy (Jennie) b. 1 Mar. 1847. Nancy married John Cox and they ended up in Lowell IN (Lake County). Martin married an Isadora and Jane Amy married H.H. Ragon and settled also in Lake County,IN. "Jennie" and H.H. were my 3G grandparents. A cousin found that Henry and his wife moved to Crawford Co. PA from Chautauqua CO, NY. Uriel, Henry and his wife are purportedly buried in Chapinville Cemetery, Rockdale Twnp. Crawford Co. PA. Sallie and Jennie moved to IN after Uriel died--lived with Nancy and her husband. (Sallie is buried in the Lowell Cemetery with her kids.) That is how Jennie met and married H.H. Ragon. We are driving to NY to do some research and plan to stop and try to find the cemetery on Monday. Would be great if there was a connection here. Thanks for your reply.

So far nothing fits, but you never know. Apparently there were several Smith lines in Crawford county during that time period. Keep looking!

Thanks for the reply. I did find the Chapinville Cemetery and Uriel and Henry's graves. It was WAY out in the country...the last road to it was red dirt. There were quite a few Amish people living in the area. Very pretty. There are other Smith's buried in that cemetery--I came across other Smith names while at the Historical Society Library too.
