Presuming that Benjamin Smith is Josephs Smiths brother but cant see them together anywhere on bcc....with father John.

[Northern Lass]

any earlier census for Joseph pls

there are a few Josephs with a father John on Bcc...no Benjamin though...although he could be a cousin.

[Northern Lass]

going to leave this one too many smiths I think Joseph Smith is prob this one.

cant find his birth think that he might be grandson to John and Ann on above link.
