Melissa,
By the location and time period, I believe we are researching members of the same Smoke family but I cannot make a connection between the names that I have and John's father, Benjamin Smoke. I also have Goring records from the War of 1812 era.
If you would like to look at some of my Smoke records please email me at fredblairorillia(at)hotmail.com with the subject "War of 1812 Smoke families".
