Thank you, Claire. That's the first information I've seen about Susannah's parents. Do you have anything about the birthplaces of any of these folks? I have a note, no verification, that Susannah was born in Logan Co., Kentucky. I gather from the website that a lot of the family came from Virginia, which is where the Griggs landed, too. We've hit a snag as to where our "Immigrant" originated and for a similar reason...records were destroyed.
