Watts, Susan Mahaley m. John Foster Byrd
Searching for parents and siblings of Susan. She is said to be of Cherokee lineage. She had four children before 1884. On Nov.4, 1884 her fifth child was born Susan Mahaley Byrd, two days later the mother Susan died. This was in Canton, Van Zandt Co., Tx. We can't find them there, so think they were traveling. Grandma Susie always said she had come to Tx in a covered wagon, and that she was Cherokee. Virginia
