- _UID: E039BA448A4D4069B4E59A2382AD036C8B9E
Notes:
Info on her parents are from the Pane-Joyce Genealogy
http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/gen/report/rr24/rr24_086.html#P52967
However, the Altizer Family site has her last name as possibly Sadler.
http://www.altizerfamily.com/TNG/getperson.php?personID=I1623&tree=tree1
Some other sources have her listed as Susan Slusher Brewster. So it is not confirmed if she is descended from or even related to the Slusher family of Floyd Co. VA who are the descendants of Christopher Slusher. So proceed with caution in using this information on her possible parentage as there is no documentation or proof at this point.
