I think that there is a good chance that Susannah's mother, Eliz abeth A.
Porter Dobbins, died giving birth to Susannah. So she probabl y never knew
her mother. Elizabeth seems to already be gone by 1820 (see m y census
theories below).
My deathdate for Susannah's father, James Dobbins Jr., came fro m the files of
Bobby Dobbins Title. She had that he died "about 1836". I thin k he was dead
by 1830. (see below). There is a James Dobbins enumerated in 1 830, but I
think I looked at it and I didn't think it was him. There are s ome other
Dobbins that I believe are cousins in Pendleton, at the same tim e. Jesse
Dobbins, etc. I have been meaning to look at those Pendleton ce nsuses a
little closer.
In any event, I think Susannah was living with her Porter grandp arents,
probably from near birth if not birth. Maybe her father didn' t want much to
do with the new baby if his wife died giving birth to her, and h er maternal
grandparents took her in. They probably were glad to do so in r emembrance of
their daughter. Then Grandma Dobbins moved in with James to hel p with the
other kids. Susannah's father probably died by the time she wa s eleven, but
she hadn't been living with him anyway. I think they refered t o people back
then as orphans if their parents were dead even if there was som eone to take
care of them. My Paternal grandfather always refered to his fat her as an
orphan. I was wondering how in the world he could have been a n orphan since
he had a brother. That has been a real chore to research, but i t turns out
that he had quite a few siblings. His father died when he was a bout one, and
his mother died before he was ten.
There are several more things that supports the theory that sh e lived her
whole life with her Porter grandparents. Samuel Porter left he r a double
share of his estate, even bigger than some of his daughters, an d he left her
siblings one share to divide among them. Also, Samuel Porter, f rom at least
1820, lived very close to William L. Crawford. She probably gre w up as a
neighbor to her future husband, William A.
Aah...we could make a movie of it!!! I just finished reading "An gela's Ashes".
I am going to pull out all of that stuff you sent me, and try t o refresh my
memory about all of it. I think you Aunt has left us some goo d clues!
