Susanah Beery, born on May 22, 1810, was the daughter of
Christian Beery, a twin, and Catherine Frank. She married
David Good, son of Joseph Good and Magdalena Gamel, on Nov 5,
1831, about six months after her twenty-first birthday.
Her first child, Aaron, was born on Oct 8, 1833, less than two years
after her marriage to David. The second child, Joel, was born on Nov
22, 1835, which also was about two years later. Three and one-half
years after Joel, twin girls, Susanna and Sarah, arrived on June 2,
1839. The infant, Susanna, only lived for twenty-seven days, and Sarah
died at a young age, unknown, but was listed as eleven years old in
the 1850 census.
The twins were the last children that Susanna had, although she lived
almost sixteen more years and died on Jan 15, 1855, at the age of
forty-five.
An observation -
In those days, women usually had several children during their
childbearing years. We do not know anything about Susanna's

health, but because she was only twenty-nine at the time of her last
pregnancy, when the twins were born, she could possibility have been
in ill health after the birth of her twins for the next sixteen years
up until the time of her death at the age of forty-five.
After Susanna passed away, her husband, David, married
Lydia Beery and had six more children. Lydia had been married
twice before. The names of her previous husbands were a Mr. Engle and
Solomon Stemen. Lydia was the daughter of Susanna's first cousin,
Samuel Beery.
