Of course it's possible, but there have been no duplications in the census, or with death dates or other timeline functions to indicate such and there's not another John and Susanah in the Annals of Newberry either.... Think there's a time to be too cautious. Genealogy is easy when it's all based upon 1st hand clearly laid out documents, and in lew of them we have to take fact after fact that can be found and build cases or tear them down.... Don't see any facts here to tear it down.
