Biography
While many unsourced trees have her attached to George Wyatt as her father, there are no records found to date to indicate this relationship. Ancestry.com and the Edmund West collection show this relationship.
The Truman Library research group does not recognize Susanna as the mother of Elizabeth Brookes. [1]
Many of the respected works regarding the ancestry of Harry S Truman agree that her last name is Unknown.[2]
About 1672 John Meador married as his second wife Susanna (last name unknown). Susanna was twice widowed prior to her marriage to John Meador. Her first husband was a Mr. Brooks, with whom she had a daughter[3] ; her second husband was a Job Virgett, with whom she also had a child. She outlived John, her third husband, and married a fourth time, to William Davis, with whom she also had a child. In her will in 1699, Susanna named Thomas Meador, her son, as executor. In his will, Thomas Meador named Richard, Thomas and Josiah Shipp as legatee. [4]

This profile of Susannah (Wyatt) Davis (Wyatt-788) refers to only two of the four husbands of Susanna (Unknown) Davis, and attributes her parentage to Wyatts. Refer to the following passage on the above referenced page:
Footnote 1: From Genealogies of Virginia Families: Tyler's Quarterly, Volume 1, by Tylers Quarterly Historical and Genealogical Magazine: "It must suffice here to say that the above mentioned Susanna [this refers to Susanna (Unknown) Davis] is not identical with Susannah Davis, who as the widow of John Davis, married Solomon Day. After considerable research, the complier wishes to state that he has been unable to find the slightest documentary evidence that either of the above ladies was the daughter of George Wyatt, Esquire, of Gloucester County, Va., which ancestry has been widely claimed for Mrs. Susannah Davis-Day particularly."
I am reluctant to merge the Unknown-473868 and Wyatt-788 profiles at this time because I fear that people will continue to create pages for Susanna (Wyatt) Davis since that misinformation is so common in online trees and in older unsourced genealogical work. I believe it is helpful to keep Susanna (Unknown) Davis's profile "clean" with only sourced records.
Since this profile for Susanna (Wyatt) Davis (Wyatt-788) shows only two of her four marriages, misattributes her parentage, contains no primary source documentation, and shows no children or descendants for Susanna, I would recommend deleting it and working from the profile Susanna (Unknown) Davis. I would be happy to make Lindsay co-admin of that profile.
Sorry for raising confusion, More research needs to be done to prove status of each Susannah then details updated accordingly.

As PM, Lindsay, this should come from you.

To further distinguish them, I suggest that the additional relationships (i.e., father, other husband's facts) be split as well and aligned with the correct Susanna(h).
1) Thomas Wyatt (only issue known to be from Catherine Tunstall 2) Henry Wyatt 3) Susannah Wyatt who m1. Solomon Day, and m2. Thomas Davis 4) Richard Wyatt, who moved to Charlotte Co. and m. Sarah Overstreet (This Richard has been a highly debated one) This above Wyatt line is my direct Wyatt line and is NOT from Haute Wyatt, but comes from/starts with Major William Wyatt. Evidence is now overwhelming, through many researched and reputable sources and documents, that Richard Wyatt who m. Catherine Tunstall was a descendant of Maj. William Wyatt's line and not Haute's. This Wyatt line has ties to William and Thomas Button of "Button's Range", Thomas Pettus (Pettis, Pettit), Morris family, and the Fox family. Major William Wyatt and Haute Wyatt do not share the same Y-DNA, although these two Wyatt lines may have become intertwined through marriage at some point in history.
