Description: An extensive but not complete descendancy that omits descendants born after 1920.
Biographical Note: After settling briefly and marrying in eastern Pennsylvania, Philip migrated to Marion County, Ohio about 1832, probably traveling with his brother Friederich's family who settled two counties away in Columbus. In town, Friederich's sons were mostly tradesmen and shopkeepers, whereas Philip and his early descendants were primarily farmers. Both brothers used the surname Smith, but Friederich's sons and most of their descendants reverted to Schmitt.
