Please be lenient when reviewing the info listed here. I've just recently begun researching this family and am still attempting to put everyone in their proper place. As always, if you notice anything wrong with the facts presented here, please send me an e-mail and I'll make the necessary correction.
Good grief but this is a tough family to research! It seems that every male named their sons with the same names. Trying to differentiate one Cornelius or Leonard from another is no easy task. To make matters worse, there usually isn't but a year or two that separate the two Smock's you're trying to research. And don't even get me started on how many other researchers have their own opinions on who goes with which family! Adding to the confusion is the belief by some researchers that the Smock's originated in Germany while others believe the Smock's come from The Netherlands. :)
