Hello... I'm also looking into the Smail line and was wondering if you found out anything on Jacob Smail. He was my ggggrandfather... I also have a mother named Elizabeth. Thanks.

Jacob Smail born 1811, m. Sarah Grim, was my husband's gggrandfather. Our research indicates that his mother was Elizabeth Smail. Oldest child of Jacob Smail b.1774 and Anna Maria Frey b. 1795. We have found several references to the fact that Elizabeth may never have married. Our Jacob (1811) was her only child.

Smail family history does indicate that Jacob was born to Elizabeth out of wedlock and was brought to Ohio from Pennsylvania. Elizabeth was born 3 Oct. 1795 to Jacob and Anna Maria, who had 8 children in all. Jacob the father it is believed died of small ox by Lake Erie in 1819. it is possible that he was on a visit to daughter Elizabeth and grandson Jacob and there contracted small pox. Jacob the father was born in 1774 near Bucks County, PA. His parents were Peter and Elizabeth Smail. That is about all that I have, hope it is of some help. RH

LOL, also my ggg?grandfather and I am stuck! He was born in PA but that is all I can find out other than he was married at least twice and bred like a rabbit, or 1800's farmer. Many of his children settled her in Iowa but the family is also alive and well in Kansas. Mom says some wet to NewYork and back to PA as well. Would you like to share info?
