Note: Most likely, Alice's birth surname was Smith, out-of-wedlock daughter of Mary, daughter of Levi and and Jane (Stroud) Smith of Van Buren County, Iowa. The following is Tracy DeVault's analysis:

"There have been a number of people that have tried to identify Alice's parents. One tree shows John Sample (no trailing "s") and Rachel Stark as possible parents. John married Rachel in 1842. They seem to have had six children. Rachel died in 1860. John married Mary Smith (daughter of Levi Smith and Jane Stroud) in 1862. They went on to have five children of their own. Alice's obituary says that two of John and Mary's children are her half-siblings. One might think that Alice was a daughter of John Sample and Rachel Stark, but wait, Alice, born in 1856, does not appear with John and Rachel in the 1860 Census nor does she appear with John and Mary in the 1870 Census. What does this all mean? It turns out that an Alice, born about 1855, shows up in the 1860 Census with the family of Levi and Jane (Stroud) Smith. Alice is clearly a misfit here. All of Levi and Jane's children were born in Pennsylvania, Alice was born in Iowa. Also, it appears from the census, that the next older child is 14 years older than Alice. Finally, also shown in the 1860 Census record for the Levi Smith family is Mary Smith, age 27. In the 1870 Census, Mary Smith is now married to John Sample and they have four children of their own. Alice Smith is still shown living with the Levi Smith family. So here is what I think happened. Alice was an out-of-wedlock child born to Mary Smith. When Mary married John Sample, Alice remained with her grandparents. Eventually, Alice adopted her mother's married name with an added trailing "s"."
