Susannah's birth and death dates are unknown.


Susannah was the daughter of John Prillaman, born about 1754 and died early in 1842, and his first wife (unknown).

John, Susannah's father, was the son of Jacob Prillaman, Sr. (1721-1796) and Waltpurgelly (surname undetermined). Jacob, Sr. arrived into the port of Philadelphia in 1747 on the ship Lydia, from his home in Switzerland. He migrated to Maryland for several years, then moved westward, settling in Franklin County, Virginia. Jacob was a Revolutionary War Patriot.


Susannah never married.

She was remembered in her father John's will as follows:

"To my son Abraham & to my daughter Susannah jointly I give the Tract of Land on which I now live, and if my said daughter Susannah should marry or die before my son Abraham, then the entire tract to become the sole property of my son Abraham and his heirs forever, my said son Abraham to see my said Daughter Susannah supported and maintained during her life..........To my daughter Susannah I also give my negro boys, Peter and Andrew, and my negro girl, named Phebe, and the future increase of the said Phebe, during the life of my said Daughter Susannah, and after her death I give the said negro boys Peter and Andrew, and the said negro girl Phebe and her future increase to my son Abraham. I likewise give all my stock and perishable property to my wife Lucy and my son Abraham and my Daughter Susannah for their support."

Note: The above mentioned Lucy was John Prillaman's second wife, and would have been Susannah's stepmother.


Above excerpted from John Prillaman's will dated 19 October 1838, proved 4 April 1842.
