Susan Travis


Susan Travis was born in New York, probably the Bronx when it was part of Westchester County, in 1825, one of four children of unknown parents. They were orphaned at an early age, and wound up with different families. One brother took the name of the adopted family and his siblings lost track of him. Susan married ThomasW. Eastburn. also shown on this blog.
Willis Joseph Travis was the brother of William Levi Travis. He was born in 1823 in New York City, possible the Bronx which was part of Westchester County at the time. He died in 1873, possible in Houston, although there is no documentation to support this. The name of his wife is not known by me, nor the names of any children he might have fathered.
