1854 - 1946 (92 years)
Generation: 1
1. | Susan Melissa Teston was born on 23 Apr 1854 in Alabama; died on 16 May 1946 in Newton County, Texas; was buried in Tanner Cemetery, Burkeville, Newton County, Texas. Notes:
Said to be a daughter of Duncan TESTON and Lucinda HINSON. In 1930, she was living in the home of son and daughter-in-law, Sidney and Edna Cousins. At the time of the 1940 Federal census, she was living with her youngest daughter and son-in-law, Alice and G. Ott Gunter, in Newton County, Texas. She appears to have been living with them since at least 1935.
She is shown as Edna, born in Belgrade, Texas, on the death certificate of her youngest son, Sidney Bryant Cousins. This was likely just an error, as Sidney's wifes name was Edna.
