Hi,
The Clinesmiths are hard to find. I know I have been at it 50 years.
I don't really know about the Smith part but wouldn't be surprised.
An Andrea Clinesmith was the first I found to migrate to the USA that was in the early 1800's. They were German Jews.
Many of the Clinesmiths ended up in the east and three brothers came to Oklahoma Territory from Kansas. Two of those went further West.
Neosha ( spelling) was the county in Kansas.
Seems they left few paper trails a few land deeds was all I have ever found.Some are on census but the ones I am looking for never showed up.
maybe I should check the Smith.
Good luck.
