Information from Genforum.com post (the birthdate for Nehemiah appears to be too early...)

Linda,

Your Nehemiah Smalley was the son of Daniel Smalley and Martha Owen. Your lineage is well documented in Underhill's two volume Descendants of Edward Smalle. (Edward came into Maine in the 1600's). Nehemiah was born August 26, 1760 in Lebanon Township, New London CT. He was married to Sarah Catlin in Lenox, Madison, NY. He died October 21, 1836 in Chicago, Cook Co. Illinois.

I have Alonzo O. Smalley listed as being born March 30, 1824. His brother's and sisters are listed in Underhill's book. If you cannot get this book at your library, LDS Family History Center library in your area can order the book for you on film.

There were three sons who came with their father Daniel to Madison in the late 1790's. There is a possibility that my Samuel is a son of Sylvanus. He is definitely not the son of Nehemiah or Daniel Jr. If you can prove the relationship to Nehemiah then you are eligible for the DAR and through the Owen line you are eligible for the Mayflower Society. Your lucky that Underhill did such a well documented book.

Keep me posted if you learn anything new.
