Enumerated with William Barrett Cockrill in the 1850 Census for Bates Co., MO, as Eliza (a. 36, bp. Ohio) and in the 1860 Census for Sonoma Co., CA, as Susan E. (a. 52, bp. Maryland). It is possible that these are two different persons, but considering the mistakes in the 1850 Census for this family, it is assumed that they are the same.

The year and place of her birth is derived from 1860 Census. Her name is inferred to be Susan Eliza (or Susan Elizabeth).
