I'm looking for any information on Franklin Henry Smith b. abt 1870 in Baltimore, MD and lived a good portion of his young life in Doddridge Co., WV with his grandparents, Johann Heinrich Schmidt (aka. John Henry; also used name Joseph) and Anna Margarette (Angusbaugh) Schmidt/Smith. We believe that he may have been born out of wedlock to Susan Smith b. abt 1841. Franklin Henry's marriage record shows his parents as Charles Smith and Susan Smith, but, given the stigma of births out of wedlock at that time, he may have made his father's name up for public record. Franklin Henry married Bertha Florence Marsh in 1896 in Lewis County, WV. Our family is trying to find out for sure who Franklin Henry's birth mother was so our trees/records can be more complete. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
