| Birth | Charles John Smith was born on 26 February 1822 at Germany. |
| Marriage | He married Margaret Vrooman, daughter of Adam Vrooman and Elizabeth McCowan. |
| Death | He died on 5 October 1907 at Stratford, Perth, Ontario, at age 85. |
| Note | Charles Smith was enumerated twice in the 1901 census. He was enumerated in Seaforth with his wife and he was enumerated in Stratford, where, it must be assumed, he was visiting with his son Francis. Both Charles and Margaret died in 1907, she dying in March and he in October. Margaret died in Seaforth and he in Stratford, so we may guess that he went to live with his son and family after Margaret's death. |
