Old family histories state that she was born in Massachusetts (unverified). Suffield is a good possibility, though, since Jedediah was born there. The family lived in the CRV from 1638 on, so even Windsor is a possibility--Jedediah's mother Christiana Owen, was from Windsor. The SMITH family is in Stiles Wethersfield book. I'm glad to have this information; I've done the bulk of my research in the south and don't know much about New England. Thanks. E. W. Prichard
