- Is Susan Hines Gibson also Susannah Hines Brannan? From the biographical sketch of Robert Barron, (p. 1244, 1895 Hist. of Butler Co.) grandson of Susan Hines, it is apparent that all of the children of Richard Hines eventually immigrated to America. Susan Hines was married in Ireland to James Gibson, and their daughter Margaret Gibson married David Barron. David left wife Margaret and son Robert Barron in Ireland, came to the U.S. and died in Steubenville, OH. Margaret remarried to George Dixon. Robert Barron came to the U.S. when age 17, (so, about 1849), and shortly went to live with his grandmother Susan Gibson of Worth Twp., Butler Co. Therefore, Susan must have immigrated before 1849. As the biography does not mention his grandfather, it is possible that Susan Hines Gibson immigrated after her husband James Gibson died in Ireland (or,that Robert Barron came to live with her after James Gibson died in the U.S.). In any case, she appears to be a widow.
Our ancestor William Brannan married a Susanna Hines, and the question remains whether she was the daughter of Richard Hines. If so, it would be her second marriage. Born in 1776, she would be aged about 73 in 1849, although she may have immigrated much earlier. Was she the 2nd wife of Wm. Brannan and not the father of his children, of did William marry a different Susannah Hines? William and Susanna Brannan are buried together at Wolf Creek cemetery, as is usual for the parents of children to be buried together, when there is more than one spouse.
