His son Jacob Oliver Smith was born 4/1/1868 in Riley Township, Butler County, Ohio. John didn't raise Jacob. Cornelia Maria Van Ausdall, Jacob's mother, was born 4/19/1848 in Riley Township, Butler County, Ohio and died 4/2/1930 in Hamilton, Ohio. Her parents were Silas and Rebecca Van Ausdall. Maria married William Doan in 1870. After William died, John visited Maria in Hamilton, Ohio. Her daughter Dora wrote a letter dated 10/1-1900 giving these details: John's wife had died, he had a daughter and 2 sons and the romance remained between John and Maria. The photo was given to Jacob's daughter Marie when she was a child. She is now 80+ and wishes to know as much as possible about John and his family. Any information would be appreciated.
