Lena was probably named for her mother’s grandmother Magdalena (Ecker) Foshay.

In 1855 and 1860 she was living with her daughter Adeline Shufelt’s family.

This may be for a different Peter Boyce since daughter Catherine is not listed.

Some information on James Smith’s family is due to Michael Rudy.678
    Email of 14 Sep 2012: I noticed that you don't mention his son James J. [Jacobus] Smith, baptized at the Linlithgo Reformed Church in 1783.  I am sending you a copy of a file on John J. Smith, which includes some information on James J. and also some additional information on John J.  If you could include James J. in a future revision of the "Pane Joyce Genealogy" a fellow researcher, Kim Cohen, and I would greatly appreciate it.
On 26 Dec 1803 when James J. was 20, he married Phebe in Claverack Reformed Church.678 Born ca 13 Feb 1778 in New York. Phebe died in Kent County, Michigan on 26 May 1857. Buried in Old Rockford Cemetery.

There is a couple, James I. and Phebe Smith, buried in Old Rockford Cemetery, also called Rockford Pioneer Cemetery.
    Jas. I. Smith, d. 9 Aug 1863 æ 84 yrs 5 mos 27 days
    Phebe Smith, wife of Jas. I., d. 26 May 1857 æ 79 yrs 3 mos 13 days
The ages are off by a couple of years. According to the ages at death, James was born 13 Feb 1779 and Phebe 13 Feb 1778. (It’s quite a coincidence that they were born on the same day. Perhaps one is incorrect.) Unless another James and Phebe Smith are found in the census records, these graves are probably those of this James and Phebe Smith.

60103. Barbara Smith. Born say 1785 in Taghkanic, Columbia County, New York. Barbara died aft 31 May 1830.

Barbara, or Barbel, Smith, or Schmidt. She was probably named for her grandmother Barbara (Minckler) Schmidt.

Christian Jung and Barbara Schmidt were witnesses at several baptisms:
    1817 for their nephew Ephraim, son of Williem Race and Elisabeth Smith;
    1821 for their nephew Peter Le Roy Boice, son of Peter Boice & Lena Smith;
    1823 for their grandson Henry, son of John Thomson & Peggy Jung; and
    1828 for their great neice Sobrina Amminda, daughter of John & Margaret Race.

On 1 Sep 1805 Barbara married Christian Young, son of Jung, in St Thomas Lutheran Church, Churchtown.646 Christian Jung & Barbara Schmid of Dacanik [Taghkanic] [K1009]. Born ca 1755. Christian died in Taghkanic, Columbia County, New York on 22 Sep 1828.

It’s been suggested that Christian Jung was born 11 Dec 1756 at Katsbann, Ulster County, son of Johannes Jung and Annatje Diederich, but that Christian died aged 2 according to the book: The Young (Jung) Families of the Mohawk Valley 1710-1946, by Clifford M. Young, published by The Fort Plain Standard, Fort Plain, NY 1947
