BINGO! Linda, have been trying to fit that piece of the puzzle for awhile now and your info fits perfectly <Katy is the daughter of Stephen SMITH and Maria TROUP/STROUP/STRAUB> ! Now let's see how the relationships go... Susan KEPHART (b 1841 and daughter of Andrew and Catherine [WEISER] KEPHART) married John J. CODER (b 1837). They had a daughter, Mary Catherine CODER (b 1864) who married Martin Hoover BLOOM (b 1848). Martin Hoover BLOOM was my 1st cousin 4x removed, and Martin's father, Abraham High BLOOM (b 1813) was my 3rd great granduncle as well as 1st cousin 5x removed. Now, Abraham's parents, John BLOOM (b 1786); and Susannah HIGH (b 1788) were my 4th great grandparents as well as my 4th great granduncle and aunt (yep, double-related to both of them as I descend through 2 children of William and Mary Ann [METTLER] BLOOM). Now that everyone's totally confused, I think it's safe to say that Linda and I are not couins!
