In looking for inspiration for my blog I looked at December birthdays & anniversaries and noticed three significant Ancestor Anniversaries. This is the second of those anniversaries. I wonder if Jeremiah & Joanna ever stopped to celebrate the day.
My 4th great grandparents were married 220 years ago, on 16 December 1798.

Beautiful Memorial to Jeremiah and Joanna. Patricia Brock Smith, owner of the Jeremiah Smith Bible, was an awesome, caring and sharing lady.
