Biography
See notes under her husband.
It seems Ruth moved with her son Elizur to Granville, Washington County, NY. In the 1810 census she is listed as living there with 2 other women (not sure of their ages, but one could have been one of her grand-daughters Elizabeth or Orrilla). It seems that by 1820 she was living with her son Elizur.
Gravestone Inscription in South Granville: Mrs. Ruth, Widow of Isaac Smith, died Feb. 20, 1821 In the 83 year of her age.[1]
