Biography

Susannah was born about 1832 in Jackson County, Tennessee. Her parents were Mason Bennett Watts and Mary B. Clemons. They left Tennessee and were living in Arkansas when her parents came down with the "fever" and died. The children were sent back to family in Tennessee. Susannah married Jacob Atnip about 1851 in DeKalb County, Tennessee. She passed away in 1913.

"Susannah had a large goiter on her neck and had to tailer her dresses to fit this configuration."
