Charles Smith and Sarah Ann Voorhes were my great grand parents. Charles father was Joseph Smith and mother Catherine ?. I found the Hawkins marriage to Sarah was probably a first marriage. Sarah signed a civil war pension affidavit that she was married to Charles, never devorced from him. Witnesses swore the same. Also I have the connection of Sarah's parents all the way back to when they came over from Holland. That info was provided by the Van Voorhes Association and is a recent discovery. Here is what I know about Joseph and Charles:
JOSEPH H. SMITH b. abt 1803. Married to CATHARINE ? b. abt 1806. Found in and around Ohio Valley area (Pa., WV., Ohio) Found in Monroe Co., Salam Twp, Ohio in 1850 census. Joseph born in VA and Catherine born in OH., children born in VA probably present day WVA. 1870 Census, Wetzel Co., WV lists Francis Catherine as head of household. Francis found in home of Lee Jackson and Mary in the Wetzel Co. 1880 census so probably died bet. 1880-1890.. Joseph died bet. 1870-1880.
