James Francis Smiley TARBELL:
Notes:
History of the Town of Springfield, Vermont, page 465
(In reference to the children of the Rev. Robinson Smiley and Elizabeth Harkness, who was b. in Lunenburg, Mass., June 1, 1773)
VIII. James Francis, b. Nov. 14, 1816, was adopted by Abel Tarbell, and had his name changed to Tarbell; m. Sarah Shepard, and had seven children:
1. George S., b. March 23, 1845
2. Frank S., b. Sept. 10, 1847
3. Clara Anna, b. Aug 28, 1849
4. Jennie May, b. May 25, 1851
5. Jessie Agnes, b. April 27, 1853
6. Fanny Ellen, b. Feb. 11, 1855
7. Mary, b. 1857
(My Note: Abel Tarbell, b. 26 Aug 1773, MA, married Jane Harkness b. abt. 1780, of Lunenburg. He married 2nd Pamela Harkness b. abt 1783, Lunenburg, MA. It seems probable that Elizabeth (Harkness) Smiley was the sister to Pamela and Jane. The "History of the Town of Springfield, Vermont', does not elaborate on why James Francis Smiley was adopted by Abel Tarbell. James' father, Robinson, was alive in 1850 and living next door to him. In 1860 his mother, Elizabeth (Harkness) Smiley is residing in James' household (Jean 'Tarbell' Cotton)
