Susannah Jacaway, daughter of Mary Ann Jones and Fields B. Jacaway, born 18 Sept 1833-34-35 Clay or Scott Co., Mo. Married George Black on 6 April, 1850, in St. Louis, MO.
Susanna Jacaway and Black had settled in Fillmore, Utah in 1851. For protection from Indian raids, a triangular fort had been erected on the inside of which all houses were built, the rear wall of the house being against the fort wall and front facing inward. The opening of the gate was in the southwest corner in the south wall. Immediately on entering the enclosure, one turned to the right and came to a small room built by George and Susannah. A little further on easterly, another brother (Peter Robinson) had built his home and was comfortably situated. Between these two houses was a little space, about 12 or 14 feet. This was utilized by building a front wall from the corner of one house, Susannah took the corner of the other and covered with logs and dirt to become the winter abode for Susanna’s mother, Mary and Jones and her family, when they arrived in 1852. Mary Ann found a piece of cloth that served as a window (22).
