Hi,
I know about Louisa Angeline Smith who married George Carithers. Her father was George
Smith b. circa 1828 in PA. Her mother was Mary Ann Miller, daughter of Henry Miller and
Sarah Stantz, b. circa 1836 in Coshocton Co., OH. George Smith and Mary Ann Miller were
married 16 Aug 1855 in Owen co., IN. They settled in Jefferson twp. near her parents.
They had 4 children: Louisa, Charles H. or E., Sarah E., and Susannah Catharine. George
Smith volunteered to fight in the Civil war. He was killed at Kennesaw mountain, GA on 27
June 1864. He was in Co. H 97th IN volunteers.
Mary Ann Miller's father Henry became guardian of the 4 Smith children. He ended up
having to sell George Smith's land because he couldn't get enough rent for it to
cover taxes. Mary Ann Miller Smith remarried to Matthias "Jacob"
Strahle/Straley and moved to Marion twp., Owen co., IN on 10 Mar 1867.
She had one additional child with him, a daughter Margaret Straley.
I am still working on what became of the 5 children of Mary Ann. Please share info.
Regards, Nicole Miller
