Proof that Susan is the daughter of Ebenezer and Susanna?

Question

I'm looking for proof that Susan L. (Millard) Hunt (Millard-2580) is the daughter of Ebenezer (Millard-1908) and Susanna (Lyon) Millard (Lyon-4744), as FamilySearch has her (https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/KZ8S-ZQV).

Note: if you look at the image of the following record, you can see that Susan's son Hiram had a cousin named B. M. Lyon or Syon (the image index says "Lyon", but I think it's an "S", and possibly the census taker heard wrong)...

"United States Census, 1920", database with images, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MWT5-1XB : 2 February 2021), Hiram D Hunt, 1920.

Comments

I've been examining, and I guess the letter in the census record could be an L.

I think I will attach Susan to Ebenezer and Susanna because:

- The fact that she is attached on FamilySearch as their daughter makes me think someone knows what they're talking about. And apparently someone knew enough to know her full middle name.

- I see no reason to think she is not.

- Her son, Hiram, seems to have had a cousin with the last name that is Susanna's maiden name.

Oh, I just saw that Susan's son, Lathrop's middle name was Lyon. I had forgotten that.

I didn't doubt her parents before, but now I'm really sure.

It looks like you've got it going on, but the "S" in "Syon" is clearly (or not so clearly), an "L."  On the same page are a couple of other capital "L"s (far right column) "Laborer."  The "bowl" at the bottom of the transcriber's cursive "S" is left open (we call this an open counter), while the same area of the transcriber's "L" is truly closed; he/she continues the curve of the "L" through to the next letter.  So yes, a clear L.

I noticed the pen was held down unlike the word, "Son". I didn't think of looking at "Laborer". Thanks for the confirmation.

Thanks! If you attached her parents, it's not showing up for me, but I can see that you edited her other info.
