I'm looking for the parents of my gggg-grandfather 'Jehiel Smith.' Jehiel was born in Bath, New Hampshire on 25 Aug 1803 and died in Sep 1884 in Wisconsin, where he had resided since 1847. He was a doctor of the 'eclectic' school of medicine and had practiced for a time in Montpelier and East Randolph, Vermont. Jehiel married Martha Hills Sargent ("Patty") in MA in 1823 and Mary Wallbridge in VT in 1833.
My grandmother, who had researched her family's history for over 50 years, had no documentation on Jehiel's antecedents but I recently ran across a note in her files that said his parents were Stephen Smith and Sally Hadley. I've found some family trees with detail about Stephen and Sally but none include mention of Jehiel. However, the places and dates would fit in with what I know about him. Does anyone have any info they can share? Thanks much, Topaz
