POB from History of Gibson Co IN p. 55; FHC #0934905

2 males 20-30 1 female 50-60; 2 females 15-20

Was a second generation American. Her grandfather came
from Ireland.

Via Ethel S. Mattingley FHC #0928908: Bible records at
Washington Co IN
Historical Society show DOB as 12 Mar 1772.
Per Hist. of Gibson Co IN p 452: DOB = 12 Mar 1771

"The Devin Family", on page 37, says Susan is the daughter
of Edward and Mary Wade Nowlin of Virginia. However, on
page 2, a quote from the will of Bryan Ward Nowlin says
Sucky is his daughter. Research by Anna Hudelson
[Nowlin-Devin missive; 1929-1977] shows Edward Nowlin and
Mary Wade to be the parents of Bryan Ward Nowlin; Susans
paternal grandparents.
