We worked through some of the files in the big box of family history. Last time we worked on the Smiths, and this time we went through the Carleys and the rest of the Smiths.
There is nothing to indicate whether Amasa (Samuel) Smith's wife Anne C is Charity Ann Fox or not.
Next time we should start with the Sanford (John Herman) folder.
In addition to the info listed in the previous posts, NFS is also missing Amasa J's brother William A, b. Aug. 1870, and Isadora Dougherty's second marriage to Lester Leonard. Also, Andrew Jackson Dougherty's son Isaac's marriage to Anna Evans.

More Carleys (Augustus and siblings)
We have some family tree information from Ancestry's OneWorldTree site (i.e. not reliable). Most of the information for Leman's children matched the information on NewFamilySearch, although his son Clinton was missing several children in NFS. Also, Leman's daughter Eunice is listed in NFS as married to Austuis Bullard in 1908, while the family tree said John William Russell in 1877.
Interestingly, Augustus has two more wives in the Ancestry info, in addition to Harriett Louisa Cate (1846) and Sylvia Page (1875) who we already know about. He is listed as married to Eunice Lockwood in 1843 (no children) and Ida Russell in about 1860 (5 children: Janetta Adeline, Clarissa, Mary Otis, Dena May, and Morris). Ida Russell may or may not be related to the above William Russell.

Smith and Carley Family Stories
This information comes from the Stitt family bible, or stories my mother was told when she copied the names from it, about August Carley's family and Amasa Smith's family
Augustus Carley died in Portland, buried in ID
Violet (his wife) died on farm, buried in Nez Perce or Craigmont.
For information on their children, see the previous post.
Augustus Carley had 2 sisters: Celosky (or Loskie) and Eunice, and a half brother Willis. His father beat him, so left with a man when he was 8 years old and headed west.
Celosky later came west with her family. Her husband died but she continued on, settling (in Idaho?). She built her own log cabin, shot buffalo herself. Glen Allen Vaughn had the buffalo hair mattress that was hers, following Earl Carley's death.
Matt (Madison) Smith married numerous times. Died in GA. Wife buried him in someone else's Smith family plot in a cemetery there.
Madison had four children: Bernice, Leona, Nova, and ?. Bernice took care of Earl Smith when he had heart trouble. She later died in a car accident.
Charlotte, Harrison, Oleta, and Alexander Hale Smith did not have children.
Noel Curtis had four children: Marvel, Earl, Glen, Violet.

Augustus Carley's family
There is some conflicting information about Augustus Steven Carley and his wife Violet Sanford, and their children. These need to be verified and entered into NewFamilySearch.
According to new.familysearch.org Augustus and Violet's marriage occurred on 26 Aug 1883, but our printed information from Ancestry.com says 6 May 1894 in Genesee, Latah, ID (Idaho Marriages, ref: Latah Co. Courthouse marriage book P-2, pg 54). Violet's obituary of 1922 lists the marriage as 29 Aug 1893.
Their son Earl (b. 22 Jul 1894) may have been married in Mexico around 1930, per family rumors. He died in 1973 per SSDI. He had no children, per the Stitt family bible.
John married Maud McQueen on 18 Dec 1917, Nez Perce, Lewis, ID (per Ancestry.com ref: county marriage book vol 1 pg 154). Maud (b. 21 Mar 1899) died July 1985 per SSDI. NewFamilySearch lists John's birthdate as 30 Nov 1893, but a handwritten family note says 30 Nov 1899, which is supported by the 1930 Federal Census which lists John as 30 years old and Earl as 35 (Cragmont Village, Lewis, ID, pg 5A). He also had no children.
Lester married Marion A. O'Coyne on 3 Dec 1925, in Coeur D' Alene, Kootenai, ID (per Kootenai records vol 20 pg 41). 1930 census gives a son Albertus (b. 1926-7). Stitt family bible says Lester had 2 children (no names) and worked in Grand Coulee before dying of liver cancer.
NewFamilySearch is missing their son, Lawrence Eldred, b. 22 Jun 1902 who married Leona F. Pogreba on 8 Aug 1925 in Coeur D' Alene, Kootenai, ID (per Kootenai records vol 19 pg 470). According to census records (US federal 1930, Spokane WA, block 742, sheet 14B) they had two children, Lawrence E (b. 13 Jun 1926) and Lee V (b. 1929). However, the Stitt family bible lists Lawrence's children as Pat and Burt.
We find most of the family in a 1920 census in Nez Perce.
