My GGG-Grandma is supposed to have been Sarah J Smith-Baird (or Smith-Beard), but I have not run into the SUGGS name yet. I intend to make a research trip to Moniteau Co in the not-too-distance future, so if there's anything I can look up for you while I'm there, let me know. And I can't wait to hear from the relative in California. :-) Thanks again, Debra Claussen
