I have cousins born in Akron, OH that are Smith's, their dad Robert Kenzie Smith was born in WV abt 1924.
I also have distant Smith connections, married to my mother's Robinson family also located in OH.

I'm researching the Smith family of Lower Mt. Bethel, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. We've gone as far back as Stephen Smith marrying Mary Ann Smith (not related) in 1837, and their parents Simon Smith and Caroline Frey and Edward K. Smith and Maryann Reaser, born about 1812.

I expected that finding my Smiths would be well nigh impossible. Than I checked out Crawford County, PA, and there they were!

SMITH Surname Meaning & Origin:
Derived from the Anglo-Saxon "smitan," to smite or strike, SMITH and its derivations are an occupational name for a man who works with metal (smith or blacksmith), one of the earliest jobs for which specialist skills were required. It is a craft that was practiced in all countries, making the surname and its derivations the most common of all surnames. Smith still tops the list of most popular surnames in England and America, and is also a very common last name in Germany, Ireland, Scotland, Canada and Australia.
