Unfortunately I did not find parish records to help put this family together, nor did I find a death record for Susan Danforth Fox.I did find a possible birth record for another child of Susan:

This kind of opens up another can of worms.There was a Susan Danforth living in Holland, VT in 1870:

According to a birth record, Franklin Danforth was Charlotte's child, not Susan's:

There is a pedigree file for Charles Danforth here:https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.2.1/S5DT-7RH
It's possible that Susan Danforth went on to marry Albert Flanders and that they had a daughter named Nettie:

This couple went on to have quite a few children.I don't know if this is your Susan Danforth, but it might be.It would help to explain why her son was not living with her.Hope this helps.Annie
