Susannah Smith, daughter of William Wigginton Smith

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. 

Thompson Bailey Smith, son of William Wigginton Smith

Thompson Bailey Smith (son of William Wigginton Smith), born 1813 or 1814, was a farmer.  In 1860 his real estate was valued at $2,400 and personal property at $3,000. His wife, Mary W., a Kentuckian, was likely born in 1823 or 1824.  The names of their children were:

Susan M.,                  b. 1843 or 1844        (one Susan Smith m. M. H. Haltsly,                                                                                                                        February 13, 1868)

Mary E.,                      b. 1844 or 1845      (one Mary Smith m. H. J. Dukes,                                                                                                                            October 5, 1864)

William R.,                 b. 1846 or 1847        (William Riley Smith m. Martha                                                                                                                               Elizabeth Edward, August 13,1866)

Samuel B.,                b. 1848 or 1849

Annie E.,                   b. 1851 or 1852        (m. John D. Casebier)

James I.,                    b. 1853 or 1854

Thompson B.,           b. 1855 or 1856

In 1880, Thompson B. Smith and Thompson B., Jr., were living with Thompson, Sr.'s, daughter Annie and her husband John D. Casebier.  It was in that census report that he stated that both his father and his mother were born in Virginia.  His wife, Mary W., had died between 1870 and 1880.

John D. and Annie E. Casebier were then the parents of three, as follows:

George,                      b. 1873 or 1874        (George Casebier married Lulu Kimmel on

                                                                        September 26, 1893)

Thompson B.,           b. 1875 or 1876

Annie B.,                   b. 1880                       (one Annie Casebier married Wilben Mitchell on

                                                                        October 17, 1899)
