March 18, 1819, in Highland co., Ohio, Sarah Bevans, b.1796, [Fayette co.] Pennsylvainia. The family migrated west to Peoria Co., Illinois in 1838.  William and Sarah Smith are found in the 1850 census of Peoria Co., Illinois [#2216] living next to Seth and Mary (George) Smith.  William migrated to Mahaska co., Iowa 1854.  It is likely they later returned to Peoria co., Illinois.  They are buried in the LeHigh cemetery, Elmwood, Twp.  William Smith, stone broken and Sarah Smith, d. June 22, 1854, ae 54 years and 3. {should be age 58?).

Lehigh Cemetery, is a country cemetery founded in 1854. William and Sarah's graves are located in the front of the cemetery.  His stone is indeed broken but the pieces are still there, and hers is intact. 1854, is the year that Sarah Bevans Smith died.  No doubt that's why they're in front.  The ages on the stones correspond to the 1796 and 1797 birthdates.  The Smith info says that William (Bisbee) Smith migrated to Mahaska County, IA, in 1854.  This is the same year that Sarah died.  Perhaps William left to live with one or more of his children.
