Notes - On 21 May 1861, a David Freeman SMITH marries (Illegible) MOSER at Ohio, Lunenburg, and the witnesses are John SMITH and William McCORMICK. This David F. SMITH is found in the 1881 Census with a Wife named Lucy, whose DOB in 1843/1844 fits nicely into the birth order of Johann Heinrich and Catherina Elizabeth (Slauenwhite) MOSER, who are know to be living at Ohio.
However, the “smoking Gun” is that the wives of John SMITH and James William McCORMICK are both daughters of Johann Heinrich And Catherina Elizabeth (Slauenwhite) MOSER. So the odds that Lucy is the sister seem to be somewhere between high and prohibitive.
