  1. Amy,
    I was so excited to come across the information that you have made available. I am a decent of Susannah Moon Scott, from her son Napoleon Bonaparte Scott. I was wondering if you have ever came across any information of Susannah's death. Susannah's family has been my brick wall, especially her death. If you would like to contact me my email is roundemup92@gmail.com. Thanks, Deana
