    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.
