Cubbage - Allegheny PA to Lawrence PA - Anyone missing?

Posted: 6 Apr 2015 3:34PM GMT
Classification: Query
Surnames: Cubbage Smith Kaufman
Alex Cubbich is listed as marrying my gg grandmother in a family history - no documentation. Her daughter indicated that he was Charles Alexander Smith and died young leaving her an orphan (this name is verified in her mother's obit).

The New Castle newspaper notes in 1888 that Charles A. Smith was refused voting rights in Lawrence Co. because he was known to be a "Cubbage" and further states that he was left a foundling in a pile of cabbage leaves just like Moses and had adopted his new name, had married using it and paid taxes.

Alexander or Charles Cubbage would have been born about 1860 and died after 1890, married Louisa Kaufman, dau. of Jacob Kaufman of Rose Point, Lawrence Co. PA.

Thank you.
