Jim and Wanda I was glad to see your query about Susannah Marriott. I will admit that I am one of the guilty for indicating Susannah was married to Thomas Chadwick in my database. And somewhere in that office of mine is some kind of paper handed down in my family where someone wrote just that. However, I do not know their source. Looking over everything I could get my hands on online, I have to wonder if the 15 year old Schadwick grandson living with Susannah's mom in the 1880 census is the reason. Do you have the names of Susannah's children? And grandchildren? In regard to the census sent by BA044@aol.com I'd like to correct it a bit. It really said: 1870 Fulton County Arkansas Bennett's Bayou Twp image 10 8 4 Martin G W 32 m w farmer ILL ---- Lousena 36 f w keeping house ILL ---- Lourena? 11/12 f w Ark July Scott Mary 16 f w L Marriott keeper? KY 9 4 Mariott Mary 57 f w keeping house 800 337 Tenn ---- Nancy 20 f w Tenn ---- Tennessee 16 f w Ark ---- Timothy 13 f w Ark 10 3 Marriott F. M. 22 m w farmer Tenn [not T. H. as said previously] ---- Susan 18 f w keeping of house KY ---- Thomas 6 m w Ark But as usual, every time I go in search of an answer, I seem to find more questions! Who on earth is the 6 year old Thomas living with Francis Marion Marriott and wife Susan? They haven't been married long enough to have a 6 year old. Susan would have been 12 when he was born. cousin Marcia

Hi Marcia, Thanks for your reply. Census records are so hard to read, especially the originals. Could you clarify one other thing? Was the child Thomas in the F. M. Marriott household 4 or 6 years old? We found a marriage record for Mrs. Susan Reasons (50) to Grisso, Wm (60) both of Viola, Fulton Co. AR m. Aug 2, 1905 pg. 607, Fulton Co. Marriage Records. This started our search for more about Susannah Louisa Marriott who was recorded as married to Rubin Reasons in your internet file. After inquiring about census, marriage records, and cemetery records, we have started to assemble a family for Susannah and Rubin Reasons. In the 1900 census, Susan Reasons was a widow, had 4 children and 4 living. In 1910 Susan Grisso had 4 children 3 living. We saw the 1880 Bennett's Bayou census with Matilda Merryott (Marriott) listing a grand son 15 yrs of age, and thought the last name was probably Chadwick. Have you seen the original? Sometimes in transcribed copies, mistakes are made. The Martin 1870 census is interesting, however if Lousena is our Louisa, the age should be closer to 25 than 36. It really doesn't look like a good possibility. Let us know if you can add anything more to our search.
