Jason,
I too am searching for my Logan Co, KY Smiths.My Mary Jane Smith was born c1839 in Logan (possibly Butler Co).Her father was said to have been from Rochester.She married Manley Jackson Hope Jan. 31, 1856 in the home of W.J.Smith in Butler Co, KY.They had 5 children--George W., Sarah Elizabeth (mine), twins Fannie and James Henry, and Melissa "Lissie".Mary Jane died sometime between Lissie's birth and Manley's remarriage (1867-1872) probably closer to the latter.
Does any of this fit with what you have??Rumors have it that Mary Jane was Indian but have found no evidence to support this claim.
Thanks for your time!
Jen
