It sure is worth exploring because as it has been, my Thomas Smith has been
around the Marion or Baxter Co. areas in all my research until 1900. Makes
me even wonder if I might find a marriage record for him and Nannie Sinor in
one of those counties.

But, what is the connection, if this is him? Why these Missouri counties?

I thought the same as you - that Lewis is the father of the two
grandchildren and that he is a step-son to Malinda and a son of Samuel's
from a prior marriage? I also see that Preston is the last child born to
Malinda and in 1871. Maybe Samuel died from wounds from the War and lived
for a few years? Dying shortly after the 1870 census?

I went online the other night for a quick second and saw a Lewis A. Smith
that was buried in a cemetery there in Saline Co. Now, would probably need
to find him in a later census or maybe one of his children to see if they
are buried in the same cemetery - in an attempt to see if this is the same
Lewis Smith?

This may be really off the beaten path for me - but, with that sibling named
Lewis.............I sure have to explore the possibility. Don't you think,
Vera?
