Hi all, I just re-read through the six pages on our first posting about whom the parents were for Susannah. You are all exceptional researchers! I have not made much headway, but wondered also about the Reynolds name for William and her daughter.
In other tangentials: I wonder if her father could have been a William George as there are more William's around. I also recall my grandmother talking about how we were yeoman farmers in Cornwall and most of the Dobb's seem to have been miners which might point to the farming Glassons...I noticed that a Dobb was working and living with those (William and Susan) Glasson's in the 1841 census and that if you click next on the census page listings you quickly come to William Dobb's household and also the household of Johnson and Eliza Quintrell who was aunt of Mary Ann Jacka who became good friends with Susannah and helped Susannah with the kids before Susannah died. William asked her to stay and continue helping the family after Susannah died and they were married. Eliza Thomas Jacka was Mary Ann Jacka's daughter and she married William and Susannah's son John Dobb. We can find no record for Eliza Thomas Jacka's father though Thomas is said to be relevant. Mary Ann Jacka (later Dobb) was not married when she had Eliza. Another perhaps relevant fact is that Eliza and Mary Ann were both dress makers and that they lived with Eliza Jacka Quintrell for a time and that she was a dressmaker as well. I suppose all this background isn't helpful in the original question of Susanna's parentage except that I like the notion that it was William George...and that they only listed the George. I find a William George in Michigan later in the late 1800's. I can try and track the other Glasson kids of William and Susan...and also look at the idea of her being the daughter of Ann and George prior to their marriage. All a great adventure. I think I found one marriage record listing Susanna's address as Afterwashes (which I thing was Breage/Ashtown?) ...not to stir up another six pages of research, but why not (-:
Thanks again for the amazing work you've all done exploring the question.

I am going to go back to the census listings and explore the neighborhood, as it were, for the Dobb and Glasson groups remained as neighbors.
