GENEALOGICAL NOTES

Mrs. Susanah Crouch, the widow of Jacob Crouch, married William Ray on 15 March 
1845 in Tallapoosa Co., AL.  She married Edward Bessinger on 20 Dec 1852 in 
Tallapoosa Co., AL.  She appears on the 1860 Tallapoosa Co., AL census living 
with Joel Price and his wife Nancy.  It may be that Nancy is the daughter of 
Susanah and Jacob,  Also living in the household is William Crouch.  George W. 
Ray married Martha Couch in 1851 in Tallapoosa Co., AL.  Perhaps the 
transcriber miss-read the bride’s last name and Martha was another child of 
Susanah and Jacob.  The land sold in this deed was purchased by Susanah Ray on 
10 Jun 1848 from the Federal Government.
