Surname: Peterson
Given Name: Susan (Sally)

Note:
It is not known if Scotty & Sally married before or after the move to southern Montgomery Co, VA near the North Caroline boarder. There are several male Petersons listed in Daniel Trigg's Company of Montgomery County, 31 Mar 1781. They may be her family.

In the Circuit Court Case # 3977 papers, it is stated that Susan died a few days after James. Therefore she probably died just before 20 Jan 1835. Her surname is from W. W. Whitaker's files. However there does not seem to be any written proof of her name. It supposedly comes from one of her grandson being named, John Peterson DeSpain. Mr. Whitaker also mentions another grandson named James Peterson Despain.

Marriage 1 James Scott DESPAIN b: ABT 1766 in Halifax Co, NC
Married: ABT 1787 in ca Montgomery (Wythe) Co, VA
Note: The marriage date is estimated by the ages of the children. It would appear that James married after the family moved to the Saddle Creek of New River area. As this is only a few miles from the North Carolina line,there is some question if they were married in VA or NC. 1
