Based on what she is declaring as her age .... She had to of been abt 12 - 16 years old when she gave birth to her first child - Walter.Several documents state he was born in 1828 and others 1832.Of course none of them are his birth certicate or record.Or .... was Susan a 2nd wife?
I believe her name was Fisk.I know some "New Yorkers" added the letter e to the end (Fiske) because they thought it looked more regal.
I think that because they had fancy hand-writing back then, an k could easily look like an h; and also maybe way they pronounced the name if they had an accent at all.
Recently found out she had "farmed-out" Howard and Walter and they were living on nearby farms.I think Hudson or Jesse were also place in an Orphanage for awhile.
