      Notes:

      !Questions: Spelling of Name - Nowlin or Nolan
      First name maybe Susan.
      POB from History of Gibson Co IN p. 55; FHC #0934905
      This book gave DOD as 8 November 1840.

      The Devin Family, page 37 lists her DOD as 8 November 1846.

      Census:
      1830 Gibson Co IN p 159A (Suckey or Sukey)
      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.

      Notes:

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