Wife of John Daniel who died in 1863 in Perry County, Alabama. They married Dec 18, 1838 in Perry County, AL. Susan was daughter of Freeman Winfield (died 1839 in Perry County, AL) and Mary Boroughs/Burrows. Will of Freeman is on file in Perry.

From Tyler's Quarterly - Cumberland County, VA:
Will of Leonard Daniel, dated December 22, 1838, proved September 21, 1855, witnesses, William Montague, John G. Daniel, Leonard Boatright, wife Polly, sons James, Robert, John, Leonard, William, Chesley, daughters Jane Cheatwood, Sarah Montague, Polly Wright, Susanna Palmore. The latter is incorrectly written (as it Is pronounced) Palmer.
This Leonard (who married Polly Spears In Cumberland, January 27, 1794) was a son of 113 Abraham son of 59 James, of Albemarle. John, son of Leonard, supra, was born in 1807, died 1863, married 1838, Susan, daughter of Freeman WInfield and his wife Mary, daughter of Bryan Boroughs of North Carolina. A. son of John and Susan
Is John Daniel, Professor of Physics at Vanderhllt University, who has a mass of data about the many descendants of 113 Abraham in Alabama and elsewhere.

Mrs. Susan Lee (Winfield) Daniel was born in North Carolina October 24, 1820, and died in Avondale, Alabama, May 1, 1910, being nearly ninety years of age. When I knew her in Summerfield, whither she had moved on account of the schools, she was the widowed mother of ten children, eight daughters and two sons. Two of these children preceded her, two have followed her to the goodly land, and six still survive.

Although the struggle is a hard one, the mother can rear a family better than the father can. Somehow God helps the widow, and somehow in the process she often develops a Christian character rarely ever seen under other conditions. Mrs. Daniel was one of my nearest neighbors and one of the best. In cases of sickness and death in my family she was a friend indeed. Her piety was of a quiet sort ; but, measured by the standard set by Christ in the twenty-fifth chapter of Matthew, she should be numbered among those on his right hand.

Her sons were for several years pupils of mine. One became a successful business man in Birmingham; the other is Dr. John Daniel, a professor in Vanderbilt University. These boys had to work hard and practice economy in their early years, the most favorable conditions for making efficient men when there is reasonable opportunity for education. Mrs. Daniel's history has verified these scriptures, "With long life will I satisfy him;" and, "I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread."
