- Please be aware, there is not a Federal census for 1820 as Missouri did not become a state until 1821. The following is a very good substitute census compiled from tax lists.

NAME |
COUNTY | TOWNSHIP |
| David Smelsor | Howard Co, MO | No township listed |
| *Harmon Gregg | Howard Co, MO | No township listed |
| *Jacob Gregg | Howard Co, MO | No Township listed |
| *Rebeccah Gregg | Howard Co, MO | No township listed |
| * Note: I have listed these Gregg folks because the Smelser and Gregg families married to each other in Knox Co, TN 1797. They traveled in a group to Missouri, then from there in a group to Texas. This is a very strong family bond. If researching these families, follow both for a clearer picture. | ||
