        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.
