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.

Notes:

It is possible that 9 July 1791 is their marriage bond date and 10 July 1795 is the date of their marriage.
