John H. Wadsworth and Susannah Davis were married about 1820 in Chesterfield County, South Carolina. Susannah Davis, daughter of Thomas Davis and Nancy Rivers, was born in 1792 in Chesterfield, Chesterfield, South Carolina. 8 9 She is listed in the 1840-1870 Census for Chesterfield County, South Carolina. 10 11 She died about 1875 at the age of 83 in Chesterfield, Chesterfield, South Carolina.

John H. Wadsworth and Susannah Davis had the following children:

              2              i.   Lewis H. Wadsworth, born 13 Sep 1832, Chesterfield District, South Carolina; married Mary Ann Freeman, 28 Dec 1849, Chesterfield County, South Carolina; married Elizabeth A. Crawford, abt 1902; died 7 Mar 1910, Chesterfield, Chesterfield, South Carolina.
                             ii.   Mary Elizabeth Wadsworth was born about 1835 in Chesterfield, Chesterfield, South Carolina. 12 13

The 1840 census indicates there is a daughter, age 15 thru 19, whose name is presently unknown. John H. Wadsworth remarried prior to 1880 to a lady named Mary (last name unknown).

John H. Wadsworth and Mary were married. Mary was born about 1852. 14

                              i.   15 Sarah Christain Wadsworth was born in Nov 1880 in Chesterfield, Chesterfield, South Carolina.

Susannah Davis, wife of John H. Wadsworth is my third great grand aunt.

Extant record on this family are very limited. However, I did find one additional source that is very confusing. There is a land deed in Anson County, NC where Alexander Martin is selling 97 acres of land to Sarah C. & Susanah Wadsworth for $500.00. The deed transaction is dated 4th January 1886. [Anson Co. NC DEED Book 8, Pages 536-537]. 16

In 1886, Sarah C. Wadsworth is only 6 years old and the only Susannah Wadsworth I am aware of is John H. Wadsworth first wife, Susannah Davis Wadsworth.
