Susannah 'Sookie' Huff was the eldest child of Thomas William Huff Sr. (1815–1887) and Phoebe Hamilton (1813–1906). Census records from 1850 indicate she was born in Tennessee; subsequent data indicate Virginia or Kentucky.
On 20 Mar 1854, she married to Rodger McGuire 'Melvin' Sturgill, in Letcher County, Kentucky. Before his death in 1873, they had these children:
- David Sturgill (1855–1906)
- Charles Sturgill (1857–1940)
- William Sturgill (1859–1929)
- Nathaniel 'Nathan' G Sturgill (1860–1924)
- Phoeba Ann Elizabeth 'Beth' Sturgill (1862–1913)
After her husband's passing, she married to widower John 'Squire' Branham Smith on 14 Jan 1875 in Letcher County, Kentucky. The Smiths had these children:
- Albert Branham Smith (1874–?)
- Lucinda Branham Smith (1876–1967)
She last appears in the 1880 census of Knott County County, Kentucky. Her husband, Squire Smith, is recorded as a widower in the 1900 census of Knott County, so it is logical to presume that she must have died between these dates. Thus, 1890 is an approximated death date for her until further evidence is found.
