    1. Augustine/Susannah Compton
    2. What is the relationship between Augustine Compton and Susannah Compton. Some say she was his dau born ca 1789 in Nelson Co., Ky. but there is no proof. Augustine was from Culpepper Co, Va and married in Nelson Co Ann Payton Threlkeld and had 3 dau before his death in 1790. Known children of his wife Ann Peyton Threlkeld are in the James Shain family bible but Susannah is not among them while her son Peyton Threlkeld is included [a half brother] and her dau Rutha Bryant, a half sister is shown. Augustine Compton rec'd land grant warrant 1970 for his service in the 6th & 10th Va Cont Line during the Rev. The land itself was not surveyed until 1792, 2 yrs after his death and not registered until 1805. The land was located in Christian Co., Ky., and was sold in 1809 by the Compton heirs to Issac Edwards. Susannah Compton married Issac Edwards 25 Oct 1804 in Ohio Co., Ky. and she is not listed as one of the Augustine Compton heirs. in the deed Issac Edwards is shown as being from Breckenridge Co., Ky. but there is no Issac Edwards in that County in 1810 thru 1840 census. Other deeds he is shown as from Hardin Co and from Shelby co. In Dec 1809 an Issac Edwards is shown married to Rachel Rice but perhaps this is another Issac Edwards. One researcher says Susannah Compton Edwarrds lived in Christian Co., Ky., and died after 1846. I do not doubt Susannah is a Compton but who is she and how is she related to Augustine. Chas
