Parent-Proof notes for Susan (Spouse 1)
Her maiden name comes from the death certificate of their son Ambrose (who must have been the son Sebastian in 1870 and 1880). It was spelled Unstead there and in the 1860 Census, Umpstead on Ambrose’s Social Security Application and Umstead in the 1850 Census. Her parents in those Census were Jesse and Barbara.
