Mariah Deliah Smith Ogden Harold: My GGgrandmother

Mariah Deliah Smith Ogden Harold: Mariah's parents and family, Abraham & Elizabeth, came from Green County Pennsylvania to Marion County Virginia. I have located them in the Marion County Census in 1850. I have been searching for more information on their family heritage, but haven't been successful. I know she has many descendents, perhaps there is someone who may know about the Abraham Smith Family from Green County Pennsylvania prior to 1836?

Robert F. Ogden, a son of William B. and Sarah Ann Elizabeth(McIntire) Ogden, was born November 22, 1833 and died in 1863 in the Civil War. He married Mariah Delilah Smith March 3, 1857 in Marion County, VA. Mariah, a daughter of Abraham and Elizabeth Smith, was born September 6, 1836 in Greene County, PA and died October 22, 1922 in
Roane County WV.

Robert enlisted in Co E 14 VA Cavalry in Calhoun County VA September 26, 1862. He was last mustered with his company April 30, 1863 and died at Winchester that year.

Mariah married Jesse Isaac Harold December 23, 1866 in
Roane County WV. Jesse, a son of Elias and Barbara America (Simmons)Harold, was born in Pendleton County Va (WV) June 17, 1840 and died in Roane County WV February 24, 1930. Jesse served in the Civil War.

Mariah and Jesse are buried in Ogden Cemetery in Uler, WV.

Thank you, Linda
