An Estill County lawsuit mentions Susanna Phillips, now Susan Phillips, as a witness for Rhoda Bennett, who was the former wife of John Bennett. The record is confusing and seems to discuss two or more events or issues . . . literally, it sounds like a love triangle. One of the individuals listed is Timothy Johnson and a little later (within one year), there is a marriage record for a Timothy Johnson and Rhoda Bennett in Estill County, Kentucky.

If correct, Susan Bennett's mother was named Rhoda and she was married first to John Bennett and then second, to Timothy Johnson and by 1850 she was a widow once again and living in Owsley County, Kentucky. Probably never moved but was just caught up in the formation of new counties.
