This SMITH family tombstone in the Salamonia Cemetery, Jay County, Indiana is near the tombstone of my SMITH relatives, but I do not know yet if there is a connection. I went ahead and photographed it just in case it turns out that we are related.

My maternal 6th-great grandaunt, Elizabeth WRIGHT, was baptized on this date in 1761 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Elizabeth was the daughter of Deacon John and Hannah (FESSENDEN) WRIGHT, and the younger sister of my John WRIGHT. Elizabeth married a Dr. ________ SHIELD. Nothing further is known at this time.
My paternal 4th-great granduncle, William Haines WOOLSTON, was born on this date in 1802 in Burlington County, New Jersey. William was the son of Samuel and Hannah (HAINES) WOOLSTON, and the younger brother of my Rachel WOOLSTON. William married circa 1830 to Mary Boulton DOBBINS, daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth (SCROGGY) DOBBINS. Mary was born September 2, 1816. They had 9 children. Mary died April 27, 1890 in Vincentown, Burlington County, New Jersey. William died September 21, 1891 in Ocean Grove, Monmouth County, New Jersey.
I was contacted by James LaLone who let me know about a resource for those researching the Hagaman family and other spellings. The website focuses on all brances and spellings of the Dutch surname: Hagaman, Hage(r)man, Hege(r)man, etc.
In my database, I have just a few Hagamans, etc.
Charles Sherman HAGAMAN born November 16, 1844 Rochester, Monroe County, New York. He married February 1868 in Alexandria, Ohio to Lydia MOULTON, daughter of Albert and Emeline (PHILBRICK) MOULTON. Lydia was born January 1849 in Illinois. They lived their lives in Livingston County, Missouri, where Charles was a farmer. Charles was a Civil War veteran of the 18th New York Infantry. Charles died in 1925. Lydia died October 17, 1916 in Chillicothe Township, Livingston County, Missouri. Both are buried in the Edgewood Cemetery. Lydia was a sister to my ancestress, Clara MOULTON.
Also, the wife of my ancestor, James GROENENDYKE (1770-1836) is sometimes listed as Johannah HAGERMAN, although I believe her surname should be ANTONIDES. Interestingly, they did have a son names Thomas Hagerman GROENNEDYKE, so there may be a family connection.
