Surnames: Smith / Loudon / Louden Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wIB.2ACI/337.1.1.1 Message Board Post: I don't know if this would be helpful at all, but my 3rd great grandfather, William Loudon, married a Kate Smith (2nd marriage for him) and they lived in Stearns County. I believe Kate's father was a doctor. She died fairly young - 46. I don't have exact dates, but Kate and WM married perhaps late 1800s. I will look for more details if this looks like a match.
