Life

Susan Elizabeth Bennett was born in Georgia in 1818, according to the FamilySearch tree, which attaches no record to the date.1 On 9 April 1846 she married Alban Willingham in Chambers County, Alabama.2 The marriage appears many times in the FamilySearch indexes of Alabama marriages, with the groom's name written Albern, Albin, Albion and "Albion or Albern", all on the same date.2 Her husband, born in 1791, was a veteran of the War of 1812 and a widower: his first wife, Bedia Herring, the mother of the eleven children the tree gives him, had died in 1840.3 The federal census of 1850 listed the couple together in Coosa County, Alabama, in a household that the index enters under her name, spelled "Susan Wellingham".4 Alban Willingham died at Rockford, Coosa County, on 16 October 1858.5 In 1860 the census found Susan Willingham, a widow, in the household of William Adkins in the second subdivision of Coosa County; notes on the tree identify his wife, Aletha Bennett Adkins, as her sister.6 The tree gives no children of her marriage and records her death only as "after 1860", in Alabama.7
