George Washington Susong

Notes:

George W. Susong, farmer and stock dealer, was born February 2, 1835, in Greene County, Tenn., and in 1867 settled in the “Fork of Pigeon,” but since 1870 he has been at his present home. A horse, saddle and bridle was the outfit his father gave him to begin his journey through life, and he now owns a fine farm of 1,700 acres in the “Dutch Bottoms,” and known as the Carter farm. In 1868 he married Susan, a daughter of Jehu Stokely and wife (nee Burnett), natives of Cocke County. The former died February 26, 1885, and was a son of John Stokely, Sr., who, with two brothers, were among the earlist settlers of Cocke County. the children of our subject are Jacob A., Mary J., Addie, Georgianna, John B.S., Susan E., Louisa K. and Hester C. His wife is a Baptist, and in politics he is a Democrat, and is also a Master Mason. He was the ninth of thirteen children of Andrew and Susan (Ball) Susong, natives of Lee County, VA, the former an old resident of Washington County, Va., and a soldier of the war of 1812, and the latter a daughter of William Ball. Nicholas Susong, the next direct ancestor, with his brothers Jacob and Andrew, came to America with Gen. Lafayette during the Revolution, and fought with that great General. The brothers first settled in Virginia, and afterward near Bristol, where they reared their families.
