Miriam Smith was the daughter of John Smith and his wife Elizabeth Hovey.

SMITH siblings: Unknown.

Her early family left Topsfield, Essex, MA for Vermont, then on to NY, OH, and IL, where Joseph Smith Jr., The Prophet, died. He was a descendant of Robert Smith and Mary French of Topsfield in the 1600’s, as was Miriam (Smith) Warner, but she was in an earlier generation than Joseph.

*On pg. 116 in "The Descendants of Andrew Warner," pub. 1919, the author was in doubt that Miriam's last child's name, Mary, was correct. The last child of Miriam (Smith) Warner was actually "Benoni"; he died 3 weeks after birth on Dec. 10, 1752, and his mother died two days later. So a correction has been found 92 years later (2011) by Mary E. Warner, thanks her sleuthing, to volunteer photographer Dave Robison, and to findagrave.com.
