Susannah Smith (daughter of William Wigginton Smith) born April 14, 1802; married Henry Strom, probably in 1822, in Muhlenberg County. Both are buried in Old Paradise
Cemetery on Green River (three miles from Old Airdie Iron Works). Henry died November 23, 1840, age 53 years
(born 1787). Sussana U.
(or V.) died September 3,
1839 , age 37 years, four months, and seventeen days (born April 17, 1802 ).
In the year 1850 three Strom children lived with the family of Thompson B. Smith (Susannah Strom's brother). They were:
Louisa Strom, born
1834 or 1835
Eudoxy Strom, born 1835 or 1836
Nancy Strom, born
1836 or 1837
William Wigginton Smith bequeathed "to my grandchildren, the
children of my daughter Susan Strom--except Margaret Cundiff--the remaining sixth part of such proceeds amongst them
to be equally divided. I do not bequeath
any sum or property to my Granddaughter Margaret Cundiff." Most likely he had given to her her full share
when she was married. This seems to state clearly that Susan and Henry
Strom also had a daughter named Margaret. Very likely there were other children older
than the ones named above.
