Life

Susan Caroline Jackson was born on 11 February 1841 in Coosa County, Alabama, according to the FamilySearch tree, which cites no source for the date.1 The federal census of 1850 listed Caroline Jackson in the Coosa County household of Stephen Jackson.2 On 25 January 1859 she married George W. Robbins, a son of Solomon Robbins Sr.; the census of 1860 recorded her as "S C Robbins" in his household.3 The tree names three children, George Washington Jr. (1858–1860), William Sanders (1859–1929) and Mary Vick (born 1863), and records her husband's death at Marietta, Georgia, on 10 July 1863.4 As a widow she was recorded as S. C. Robbins in 1870 and as Caroline Robbins in 1880, in the McCords precinct of Coosa County.5 On 31 December 1893 she married Henry Norrell, who the tree says died in 1896.6 The census of 1900 listed S. Caroline Norrell in the household of her son W. Sandy Robbins, and that of 1920 listed "Susie C Norral" in the household of William S. Robbins at Concord, Coosa County.7 She died on 2 August 1925 and is buried in the Concord Baptist Cemetery at Equality, Coosa County, according to the tree, which gives no death place, and a Find a Grave memorial to Caroline Robbins Norrell.8 Her son's Alabama death record of 1929 names his mother as "Carrie Jackson".9 No newspaper notice of her has been found; searches of the Chronicling America collection for Alabama under the names Susan Jackson, Susan C. Jackson and Susan Norrell found nothing that concerns her.10

Open questions

  • Death place is blank in the tree (burial Concord Baptist Cemetery, Equality, Coosa County, 1925). Her child Mary Vick Robbins has a death date "2 August" with no year, the same day-month as Susan's death — probably a copying error for Matt to check in FamilySearch.
  • Her newspaper names would be Mrs. G. W. Robbins (1859–1893) and Mrs. Henry Norrell (1893–1925) in Coosa County papers; none is online. ADAH microfilm (Rockford) for August 1925.

  7. 2026-11-08Assessment: Chronicling America: "Susan Jackson", Alabama, 1856–1926 (4 pages)All four are Memphis Daily Appeal pages (the Alabama facet catches the paper because it was published from Montgomery in exile in 1865) and none is her: 1877-03-20 p.1, a Louisville suit by Susan Jackson, widow of George N. Jackson, against the Mound City life insurance company; 1878-08-31 p.2, yellow-fever deaths in Memphis, "Susan Jackson, 29 years, Sycamore"; 1878-03-24 p.4, a Memphis mortuary list, Susan Jackson, coloured; 1872-10-16 p.4, a notice by Wm. Beckard of Memphis that his $120 note to Mrs. Susan Jackson is paid. Our Susan was in Coosa County throughout, was Mrs. G. W. Robbins from 1859 (widowed 1863) and Mrs. Henry Norrell from 1893, and was never a Jackson by name after 1859. Not this person.
  8. 2026-11-08Assessment: Chronicling America: "S C Jackson", Alabama, 1856–1926 (95,060 pages)Not assessed: loc.gov drops the initials, so this is a search for "Jackson" (also a city and a county) and the count means nothing; the first ten pages are 1918 casualty lists and front pages with "S. C." (South Carolina) next to "Jackson". The useful name forms for her are Susan Robbins (1859–1893) and Susan or Mrs. Henry Norrell (1893–1925), in Coosa County papers that are not online.
