Notes: According to documents on file at Doddridge County Court House, Henry Schmidt filed his intent to become a citizen of the United States on 19 Mar 1851. In his application, he stated that he was born in Hesse, Germany, in 1816, that he immigrated to the U.S. in 1839, and that he resided in Maryland until moving to Doddridge County in 1843. He was granted American citizenship on 21 May 1855 in Doddridge County, renouncing any allegience to the Prince of the Electorate of Hesse in the Confederation of Germany. His character references were Joseph H. Diss Debar and Job Stout. His name was entered as Henry Schmidt in the application, but as Henry Smith in the final citizenship document, on file in Law Book 1, page 354, in the office of the Doddridge County Circuit Clerk. Joseph married Margaret ANGUSPAUGH CA 1839, Germany. Margaret was born 2 Jan 1815, Germany; died 27 Dec 1895, Doddridge Co, WV; was buried , St. Johannes Lutheran Church Cemetery, St. Clara, Doddridge Co, WV. [Group Sheet] |

Notes: It has been suggested that the birth names of this couple, both born in Germany, are Johann Heinrich Schmidt (sometimes anglicized to John Henry Smith) and Anna Margarette Angusbau. This is quite possible, and is presented thus in "History of Doddridge County," p. 234. But records show that he was known as Joseph Henry Schmidt (Smith), with nothing to indicate that he may also have been known as Johann or John. In all census records, he is identified as Henry Smith, J. H. Smith or J. Henry Smith, and she is always identified as Margaret. In the marriage and death records of their children, he is identified as Henry or Joseph Henry, and she as Margaret.

Notes: Although the following excerpt from the 1979 "History of Doddridge County," p. 247, states that Jonathan Spurgeon was born on Bear Fork, Doddridge County, documents and records of that time do not support that. He and his family were in Doddridge County at the time of the 1850 Census, but earlier records place them in Preston County. Jonathan's birthplace may have been in Preston County or somewhere in eastern Virginia, but it was not in present-day Doddridge County. Jonathan married Elizabeth Catherine SMELL 1816, Pennsylvania.
