Found a local genealogy researcher to look for Robert Cade Smith in Catlettsburg, Boyd County, Kentucky, Cabell County, West Virginia and Lawrence County, Ohio. Why? Boyd and Cabell Counties border Lawrence County Ohio, where we found Robert Cade Smith in 1870. Also, Catlettsburg, Boyd County, Kentucky was listed as where Ira Newman Smith and Andrew Perry Smith were born (per typewritten "Smith Family History", dated February 27, 1977.
Success! The researcher found a Boyd County, Kentucky Tax Assessor Record for 1871.
Lists "Smith, Robert C "
I think this is Robert Cade Smith!
Lists "Smith, Robert C "
I think this is Robert Cade Smith!
It lists 1 White Male Over 21 years old (Robert Cade Smith), and 2 Children Between 6 and 29 years old (Susan Madora Smith, would have been 10 years old and Ira Newman Smith, would have been 8 years old at that time). Apparently wives were not counted and children under 6 (Andrew Perry Smith) were not enumerated, either!
