Birth*1817Elizabeth Smith was born about 1817 in Kentucky.2 
Marriage Bond30 October 1835A marriage bond and license were issued to Michael Goodnight and Thomas Sparrow on 30 October 1835 in Anderson County, Kentucky, in the amount of £50, the condition of the obligation being the marriage shortly intended to be solemnized between Michael Goodnight and Elizabeth Smith. The Court Clerk certified that the license was issued by the consent of the father of Elizabeth Smith as proven by the oath of two subscribing witnesses to said certificate, and also by the consent of the mother of Michael Goodnight, he being under age and having no father living, as appears from certificate proven by the subscribing witness.3 
Marriage*30 October 1835The same day their license was issued on 30 October 1835, she married Michael Goodnight, son of Abraham Goodnight and Mary Hannah, in Anderson County, Kentucky.1

Their son, Alexander, who was 8 years old, was enumerated with his parents. Also enumerated with the family in 1850 was Michael's widowed mother, Mary (Hannah) Goodnight, who was reported to be 67 years of age, although we believe she was more likely about age 70. Two additional individuals were enumerated in the Goodnight household in 1850. James "Strinett" was 20 years old and worked as a laborer, and Mary Matherly was age 13.4 
Census US 1870*12 September 1870Elizabeth and Michael Goodnight were enumerated on the 1870 census taken on 12 September 1870 in District 5, Lawrenceburg Post Office, Anderson County, Kentucky.

(Daughter) Census US 185027 August 1850Hannah was enumerated on the 1850 census taken on 27 August 1850 in the household of her parents in Jackson, Gentry County, Missouri. She was 3 years old.4 
Marriage*1865She married Thomas J. Chapman about 1865.1,2,6,5 
Census US 1870*27 August 1870Hannah R. and Thomas J. Chapman were enumerated on the 1870 census taken on 27 August 1870 in Wilson Township, Gentry County, Missouri. Thomas was 32 years of age and a farmer with real estate valued at $600, and Hannah was 24 years of age, could read and not write, and was keeping house. Three children were enumerated with them in 1870. Robert P. was 4 years old; William E. was age 3; and Thomas was one year old. Hannah's mother, Thursey (Means) Smith, whom we suspect had been widowed, was enumerated with Hannah's two youngest siblings two households below the Chapman's in 1870.7 
Census US 1880*16 June 1880Hannah R. and Thomas J. Chapman were enumerated on the 1880 census taken on 16 June 1880 in Wilson Township, Gentry County, Missouri. Thomas was 39 years of age and a farmer, and Hannah was 34 years of age and was not able to write, although she could read. They were enumerated with their nine children in 1880. Robert P. was 14 years old, able to both read and write and had attended school within the census year. His occupation was recorded as at home. William E. and Thomas H. were ages 12 and 11 years, respectively. They were unable to write, although both could read, and had attended school within the census year. James W., Julia A. and Amos A., were ages 9, 7 and 6 years, respectively, and had all attended school within the census year; John S. and George W. were ages 4 and 2 years, respectively; and baby Minnie B. was nine months old.1 
Census US 1900*23 June 1900Hannah and Thomas J. Chapman were enumerated on the 1900 census taken on 23 June 1900 in Wilson Township, Gentry County, Missouri. Thomas was 61 years of age and a farmer, and Hannah was 53 years of age. They owned their farm with a mortgage, had been married for 38 years, and Hannah had given birth to ten children, eight of whom were living. Their youngest son, Matthew M., was enumerated with them in 1900. He was 16 years old, was able to both read and write, had attended school for six months of the census year and worked as a laborer on the family farm when not in school. William C. Smith, was also enumerated in the Chapman household in 1900. He was 46 years of age, single, and worked as a laborer on the farm. No relationship to Hannah was identified, and it's possible there was none and he was "just another Smith."8 
(Wife) Death3 June 1921Hannah became a widow when Thomas J. Chapman died on 3 June 1921 at age 82.6 
Death*19 February 1934She died of chronic valvular heart disease on 19 February 1934 in Alanthus Grove, Gentry County, Missouri, at age 875,3,2 
Burial* and was buried with her husband in Jennings Cemetery, Alanthus Grove.5,6 
Family Photo*This wonderful photo of the family of Thomas Jefferson Chapman and Hannah Rebecca (Smith) Chapman of Gentry County, Missouri, was shared originally by Roxanne Held on 15 March 2022 when she posted it to her Ancestry Tree. We estimate the date of the photo as about 1895, before the death that year of the couple's fourth son, James Woodson Chapman. Their younger daughter, Minnie B. Chapman, who is not in the photo, was likely deceased as we have found no evidence of her after her enumeration with her parents and siblings in the 1880 census. And the couple's second son, William Edmond Chapman, is missing from the photo and we don't know why. He was not deceased; he was enumerated with his wife and son on the 1900 census in Wilson Township, Gentry County, Missouri and he, with his family, relocated to Oklahoma in 1901. We wonder if he was away on a future relocation scouting-trip when the photo was taken.9,10,1,11

Hugh Smith1

Family
Father*James Smith1
Birth*1728Hugh Smith was born in 1728. His year of birth was calculated from the notation that he died at age 77 in 1805.2 
Marriage*5 November 1754He married Agnes Bolton on 5 November 1754 in Palmer, Hampshire County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).1,2 
Research Notes*It is unclear if there were two daughters named Mary born to Hugh and Agnes (Bolton) Smith in Palmer, Hampshire County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England). In the records for Palmer, two births are listed with identical birth dates and different years, 1765 and 1767. The 1765 date was noted as appearing on her grave stone and the 1767 date appears to have been transcribed from the original record. To further confuse the issue, two death dates are listed also. The one appearing to have been transcribed from the town records reports her death on 30 Jul 1767 and the other, obtained from her grave stone in Old Center Cemetery was noted as 20 Sep 1768, age 10 (or age 1 followed by an O and not a zero.)2 
(Husband) Death27 September 1768Hugh became a widower when Agnes (Bolton) Smith died on 27 September 1768, the same day she gave birth to John. She was only 33.3,2 
Marriage*24 October 1771He married Anna Fugh of Brookfield on 24 October 1771 in Palmer, Hampshire County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).2 
(Husband) Death21 February 1774Hugh became a widower for the second time when Anna (Fugh) Smith died on 21 February 1774 at age 42.2 
Death30 August 1775Hugh lost two of his sons when Matthew and Elihu both died on 30 August 1775. Matthew was 14 and Elihu was 11.2 
Revolutionary War*According to his grave stone, Hugh served in the Revolutionary War.2 
Death*18 May 1805Hugh died on 18 May 1805 in Palmer, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, at the age of 77. His grave stone noted that he had been the husband of Agnes and a soldier in the Colonial Wars.2

(Mother) Marriage Settlement15 September 1817 On 15 September 1817 James Ellis of Summerhill, County Meath, and his bride-to-be, Mary Anne Martha Hinds, spinster of Portland Place in the City and County of Dublin, were participants in a Memorial Deed of Marriage Settlement agreement. Others participating in the settlement included Jane Hinds of Portland Place, Dublin, a widow and the mother of Mary Anne Martha Hinds, Walter Thomas Hinds Esq., also of Portland Place, Dublin, the son of Jane Hinds and brother of Mary Anne Martha Hinds and William Smith Esq. of Laracor in the County of Meath.

The Memorial deed recited that a marriage had been agreed upon and was soon intended to occur between James Ellis and Mary Anne Martha Hinds and that James Ellis was entitled under the will of his uncle John Cade late of Leadenhall Street in the City of London, a Merchant deceased, to the sum of £700 payable upon the death of his mother, Mary Cade, otherwise Ellis, and that that sum was at that time invested at 4 percent compounding in the Bank of Ireland in the name of John Robinson of Leadenhall Street, a Merchant, as a Trustee for James and his mother. It further recited that Jane Hinds, the mother of Mary Anne Martha Hinds, had agreed to give her daughter a fortune of £500 and that it had been agreed by James Ellis, Mary Anne Martha Hinds and Jane Hinds upon the surety of the intended marriage that the sum of £700 should be assigned to and vested with Walter Thomas Hinds Esq. and William Smith Esq. and that the sum of £500 should be paid to Walter Thomas Hinds and William Smith as Trustees for the specific intents and purposes outlined in the agreement.

James Ellis, in consideration of the marriage, had agreed that Mary Anne Martha Hinds, in case she should survive him after their marriage had been solemnized, should have, hold and enjoy during the term of her natural life all the Estate, Real, freehold and personal, he owned or was entitled to at the time of his death. Jane Hinds, with the agreement of James Ellis, had already paid to Walter Thomas Hinds and William Smith, as Trustees, her portion of £500 and it was therefore established that James Ellis and Jane Hinds had each vested their sums of £700 and £500 with the Trustees for the following Trusts: the sum of £700 in Trust for James Ellis, his Executors, Administrators and assigns until the said intended marriage should be duly had and solemnized; and the sum of £500 held in trust for Jane Hinds, her Executors, Administrators and assigns until the intended marriage should be dully had and solemnized. Then, from and immediately after the solemnization of the intended marriage, the two sums of £700 and £500, with Walter Thomas Hinds and William Smith as Trustees, and the survivor of them, and the heirs, Executors, Administrators and assigns of such survivor, were to invest the sum of five hundred pounds in Government or other good and rated security with the prior written approval of James Ellis and Mary Anne Martha Hinds, and that they were to permit James Ellis and his assigns during the time of his natural Life to have, receive and take for his own proper use and behalf all the dividends, interest and other profits which should during his natural life accrue, arise, be made by or from the two sums of £700 and £500 or any portion of them and from and immediately after the death of James Ellis, in case Mary Anne Martha Hinds should survive her husband, the Trustees were to permit Mary Anne Martha Hinds and her assigns during her natural Life to receive and take for her own use, all the dividends interest and other profits which should during her life accrue, arise or be made by or from the two sums of £700 and £500 or any portion of them.

After the deaths of both James Ellis and Mary Anne Martha Hinds, the Trustees, heirs, Executors, Administrators and assigns were to transfer, assign, pay, apply or dispose of all the several sums or parcels of stock and all the dividends, interest and other profits thereof to each and every of the sons and daughters lawfully to be begotten of James Ellis upon the body of Martha Hinds and the children of such sons or daughters in case any of them should be then dead leaving issue in equal shares and proportions, and if but one, wholly to that one. But the child or children of such sons or daughters as should then happen to be dead, should be entitled only to the share which his, her or their father and mother would have been entitled to if living; equally to be divided amongst such children if there be more than one and if but one, wholly to that one. In case Mary Anne Martha Hinds should survive James Ellis, and should not have any issue of their marriage living at the time of his death, or that having issue or being pregnant and that such issue should die unmarried in the lifetime of Mary Anne Martha Hinds, the Trustees, or the survivor of them, their or either of their Executors, Administrators or assigns were to transfer, assign and pay over to Mary Anne Martha Hinds or her assigns the several sums of money or stock and all the dividends, interest and other profits thereof, and of any part thereof, to her for her sole and separate use forever growing, arising or accruing from or out of the properties involved for and during the term of her natural life.

Following her death, and from and after the determination of the marriage settlement Estate then in Trust, the trustees were to pay, apply, dispose and divide the Estate in such manner as James Ellis should have directed, limited or appointed in writing, by his last will and Testament. Or, for want of such appointment, then the several sums of £700 and £500 were to descend to the next of kin of James Ellis, and if that were the case, the deed contained a Covenant permitting the Trustees, with the consent of James Ellis and Mary Anne Martha Hinds, to invest the several sums in other Securities to accrue to the Trustees and the deed also contained a clause that one Trustee should not be answerable for the act of the other.

The deed together with the memorial was witnessed, signed, sealed and delivered by James Ellis and Jane Hinds in the presence of William Wildrige and George Canall. William Wildrige, under oath, stated that he was a witness to the deed of which the above writing was intended to be a memorial and saw the same duly executed by James Ellis, Mary Anne Martha Hinds, Jane Hinds and Walter Thomas Hinds and also saw the above Memorial duly executed by the above named James Ellis and Jane Hinds and that he, William Wildrige, as a witness to the deed and memorial verified the participants' names and handwriting and stated he delivered the deed and Memorial to Francis Armstrong Esq., Deputy Register, at the Four Courts, Dublin at or near the hour of 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the 15th day of September Inst.
