    Notes from Brian Abeling:
    This appears to be another John Smith, similar age, same county, but I believe its a different branch of Smith...
    1840 US Census: Cobleskill, Schoharie Co, NY
    1840 US Census: Cobleskill, Schoharie Co, NY
    This page includes John Smith, married with one boy under the age of 5 and one girl under the age of five.

    My guess is that this is the correct John Smith - as the 1855 Census indicated that John lived in the area since 1815. In addition, John and Elizabeth had only 1 girl and 1 boy at the age of this census, and each child was under the age of 5.
    1860 US Census: Richmondville, Schoharie Co, NY

    NOT CONFIRMED: Right name, right date, but doesn't make full sense...

    Marcus Smith, age 21, farm hand, born in NY, living with the August Cardot family in Arkwright, NY.

    Might be the right name and age, but still not sure if this is the right person.
