Note: as, Susan was 16 years old at the time. This would make her birth date in the year 1844. The previous census of 1850 in Miliam County Texas shows her as Susanna at age 8 born in Arkansas making her birth in 1842. This would indicate her birth year was between 1840 and 1842. The family is not found on a Texas census in 1870.
From this it can be assumed that, because John was in the military, he and Susannah relocated from eastern Tn to a military post in Ar, possibly Ft. Smith, as no later than 1842 when Susan was born. It can also be assumed that at some time between 1842 and 1849 Susannah had died when John married Minerva because Susan was still with her father during the 1850 census in Texas.
