Biography

"Sybilla Susanna" was the daughter of Wilhelm Best and Anna Michaels.^[1] OR her mother was Anna Susanna (Schaeffer) Best. Susannah was born about 1760 based on her tombstone which gives her age at death as 83.^[2]

It is unknown whether George Sellers and Susannah married in Pennsylvania or North Carolina. They had several children; George, John, Philip, Caty, and Henry, and probably others.

When her husband George died in 1839, she most likely went to live with her son Philip and his wife. She is probably the 70- to 79-year-old female living with son Philip and his wife Barbara in the 1840 census.^[3]

She lived on four years after George's death and died 19 January 1843 in Lincoln County, NC.
