She was from Claborne, Tn.. When they married I am thinking they moved to Clay Co., Ky. to live. Their youngest Daughter Samantha Smith married Highie Wages. They died in Jackson Parish, Louisiana. Buried in Eros, Louisiana. Salem Cemetery. I have been to the Cemetery. I also have a photo of their graves but it is not to clear. I would love to know who Sarah's Parents and Grandparents was. Anything you can tell me about Hiram Harrison Smith Family would also be appreciated. Thanks.
