Smillie, Nellie Marquriet (need to verify my info.)?

Question

I have :
Nellie Marquriet Smillie born about 1867 in Illinois and died 6 Feb 1925 in Kokomo, IN
she had a child by Samuel Gibbs (Guy Francis Smillie b: 11 May 1891) 
As well she married Fred Ehrhart and had children.  
I have her parents as John F. Smiley from Canada and Elvina Lozier from Ohio.  
It has been indicated to me that the parents may be incorrect, I know the rest is 100% .   
Anyone have info on her parents, with verification.  If I'm wrong I want to correct it.  If im correct I want to know for sure.  (Guy is my ggrand and I need to know for sure if Nellie's parents are truly John and Elvina.  
Any help would be really helpful.  Please no goofy answers or insults here, Am very worried that I may have made an error in her parents and this bugs me.

There are no people named Smillie in Illinois in the index to the 1870 census I subscribe to. This was the closest in Illinois:

1870 United States Federal Census > Illinois > Warren > Monmouth

Smiley, John M., 37, Penn
----, Sarah J., 30, Ill
----, Sophina, 13, Ill (and the rest)
----, Ann E., 10
----, Nellie M., 2

And

Galveston, Cass, Indiana; Roll: M593_302; Page: 119; Image: 239.

Smiley, James, 72, Scotland
----, Martha, 64, ""
----, Thomas, 23, Canada

(next household)

Smiley, John, 40, Canada
----, Mary A., 27, Ohio
----, Martha E, 7, Ill
----, Nellie M, 3, Ill
----, James, 3/12ths, Ind



This might be them in 1880, if 
1) John died
2) Martha goes by Mattie
3) Nellie goes by Nella
4) Mary A in 1870 is really Mary Ellen, and she switched to "Ellen" for 1880 to thrown her descendants off the track. 
5) James b. 1870 died or was farmed out.
Look at the father's BP, mother's BP.

The only Smillie I could find in the 1880 census with a birth date close to Nellie's is from Oshkosh, Wisconsin. This person is "Nettie A. Smillie"

The family is:
Robert Smillie 50  
Jane L. Smillie 49  
Henry Smillie 28  
Maggie Smillie 26  
Jennie A. T. Smillie 23  
Robert W. Smillie 20

Nettie A. Smillie 14  
Cathrine N. Smillie 11  
Emma R. Smillie 8  
Minnie B. Smillie 3

This family is also found in the 1870 census for Oshkosh (of course younger children weren't there)
