Our newly-found Smith Genealogy manuscript, which I mentioned in a previous post, is proving a treasure not only of facts but of stories. Here's one about my great-great-great grandmother, Margery Irwin, who was the author's grandmother.
Grandmother was born east of the mountains we think, in Lancaster County, Pa. She was brought west of the mountains when five years old, packed in a wallet on a pack saddle. Grandmother on one side and her sister on the other and a bottle of milk and skillet with them.
