johnbod Posted 5 August , 2021 Share Posted 5 August , 2021 mary remarried went on to have 2 more children 1st born in 1922 . previously we thought that she had the children removed by the church when she had an illigitimate son in 1916, this would seem to confirm that her childre were taken or given up shortly after john smiths death. thanks again.
