I think that last 1841 census info is the father of your John b1824 - check out their ages. So that was him before he married... have found TWO Smalley Briggs on the 1851 census... one born 1809 and the other born 1824. Do you want the details of these?

Yes please Leah ...Smalley ...do you think he was their last ....lol

ok - will be back in a min with those details - I don't think either of them are the Smalley from the above census, though - wrong birth years but they might be related along your tree... Found Charles on the 1851 for you...
