Notes for: Sudna Lowther
1830 Census, Harrison County (Western District), Virginia (now West Virginia):
George Willard - head of household
1 male 20-29 George Willard (age discrepancy)
1 female under 5 Margaret Willard (born 1827)
1 female 5-9 Unidentified daughter
1 female 30-39 Sudna Lowther Willard (born 1792)
It has been postulated that Sudna Lowther may have had a child prior to her 1827 marriage to George Willard, which would account for the older daughter in this enumeration. Circumstantially, it cannot be discounted that the hitherto unidentified daughter is Rulina Lowther, b. 1825 in Harrison County, who married Eli Morris Gaston in 1846.
After her husband's early death, Sudna Lowther Willard moved to Ritchie County and lived with her parents. She and her three daughters are accounted for in the 1840 Census of Williams Lowther's household.
1850 Census, Ritchie Co, Virginia (now West Virginia), enumerated on Sep 5 1850:
Sudna Willard, 58; Margaret E, 23; Charlotte, 16.
In 1860 and 1870, Sudna Willard was in the household of her daughter, Rebecca (Willard) Brown, in Ritchie County.
