Margaret Leota Smithwick
Taken about 1878
      She was daughter of Irish immigrants and she was youngest of five children. Her nickname was "Maggie". She was a wonderful seamstress;always dressed up & quite a lady. She could sew anything without a pattern. She died at Longwood Rest Home in Chicago, IL. She was there 2 months before her death. She was living with her son, Jess, until that time at 2512 E. 72nd St. in Chicago. On her death certificate lists her parents as being born in Dublin, Ireland. Other records (family Bible) state Tipperary, Ireland. Her death certificate states she died of carcinoma of uterus with extension to bowel & bladder. She died at 11:45 pm. Other conditions listed on death certificate: arteriosclerosis, stroke.

A new church was built at where Thirteenth crosses Spring St. The name was changed to Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church ( 1888 - 1958). It then was moved to 2796 Charlestown Rd. & the name was changed to Trinity United Methodist Church.

William was born in Tipperary, Ireland according to Bible records. Johanna was born in Dublin, Ireland according to her daughter's death certificate. Her father was James Harland/Harlan. I have not been able to find out anything about him; possibly his wife's name was Emma.
     William resided at South Vincennes in New Albany, IN. On July 12,1855 he bought a parcel of land from Ezekiel R. Day & his wife, Lucinda. He paid $300 dollars for the tract of land located in New Albany, IN.; the North 25 twenty five feet of Lot N# two fronting Upper Vincennes St. 25 ft. & extending back the same 120 ft.

Smithwick's
of Tipperary, IRELAND
     We are somehow connected to the Tipperary Smithwick's; I originally thought that Peter of Barnlough was my link, until Ella Klein gave me the name of Amelia as the wife of Peter. She was able to find this from the death record of Mary Ann Smithwick Foy in Sanilac Co., MI. that listed her parents names. I have now decided that we descend through Oliver Smithwick, who was the son of Thomas, who was son of Robert Smithwick. Robert was also father of Peter of Barnlough that I originally thought was my ancestor. This is more plausable, due to the many Oliver's in our family line in the USA. Would love to exchange information with anyone on the Smithwick's from Ireland!
