Sophia Jane Smith1

b. April 1860, d. 1907
Birth*April 1860Sophia Jane Smith was born in April 1860 in Indiana.2 
Marriage*She married first _____ Bass.1 
(Wife) Deathbefore 1883Sophia became a widow, probably in her early 20s, when _____ Bass died before 1883.3 
Marriage*1883She married second Robert Anderson Cosby, son of John Cosby and Mary __?__, about 1883.1,2 
Children*1900 On the 1900 census, Sophia reported she had given birth to nine children, six of whom were living. Four children, all with the Cosby surname and born after the couple's marriage in 1883, were enumerated with the couple that year. All four were reported to have survived Robert in his 1941 obituary, which also stated that four children had been born of his union with his first wife. From this information, we believe it safe to think that from Sophia's first marriage, Florence Bass and one of her siblings were living in 1900 and that three of Sophia's Bass children from her first marriage had died before the 1900 census. So... Bottom line, Sophia and Robert had four children together, and Sophia with her first husband had five children together.2,4 
Death*1907She died about 1907 at about age 47.1
