Notes
- It is noted that with the dates from initial sources, Susannah was born in 1818, which would mean that her mother was over 50 years old when she was born. The dates come from otherwise solid family sources. I later found another very high-quality source, a compilation of several McSwain family researchers, which does not have this person.
I have not been able to identify her with a next-generation or younger same-generation set of parents. One source reported a birth year of 1788, which seemed too early.
In July 2007, I found a genealogy that had an earlier birth date of 1793 instead of 1813. This is more reasonable and in line with the birth dates of the other children of this family. However, the birth place reported by that source is Orange County, sources report Rutherford County, and the new source reported the other children as born in Rutherford County. That would put Susannah as the odd one out with three after her born in Rutherford again. So I am reporting Rutherford County as the place, but the date as about 1793.
