Individual Details
Susan Catherine "Susie" BROWN
(25 Feb 1875 - 14 Oct 1952)
The birthplace of her parents is not clear because there are different responses in different censuses:
1900: VA/VA
1910: NJ/VA
1920: VA/VA
1930: VA/VA
1940: (the question is not asked).
In the 1920 census, the entries for her children suggest that she was born in MD and the father was born in VA. Because we know that he was born in MD, I believe that the columns were simply transposed upon entry.
