Susan B. Hollingsworth was the daughter of William H. and Sarah Wesley Howard Hollingsworth. Sudessa, as she was known by her family, married John Ervin Kolb on June 30, 1842 in Lowndes County, Mississippi.

Sudessa was one of eleven known children. Her mother Sarah Wesley died about 1845 in Monroe County, Mississippi. In 1846, her father, William H. Hollingsworth married Dorcas Weaver Willey, the daughter of pioneer Frederick Weaver. William and Dorcas had one child, Leonides DeKalb Hollingsworth.

It is unknown where William H., Sarah W. and Dorcas Hollingsworth are buried.

It should also be noted that in 1846, Sudessa's brother and William's son, William M. L. Hollingsworth, married Dorcas Willey's daughter, Lucinda P. Willey.

Sudessa's sister, Matilda S. (Martelly) Hollingsworth, (Find a Grave memorial #33664711) married John Ervin's brother, Newton Kolb.

John Ervin and Sudessa were the parents of three children: Matilda F. Kolb, b. 1844, Mary Jerusha Kolb, b. 1847, and William C. Kolb, b. 1849.

John Ervin passed away on June 13, 1852 and was buried in the Kolb Cemetery in Caledonia, Mississippi.

On December 28, 1854 in Lowndes County, Sudessa wed Thomas Cox. In 1855 their daughter, Sarah Cox was born.

By 1870, Susan Cox was listed in Calhoun County, Mississippi as living with her daughter and son-in-law, James & Matilda (Mary) Ammons. But, evidently Susan had married a Mr. Davis sometime between the time the 1870 and the 1880 census was taken, because she was listed as Susan Davis on the 1880 census. However, she was still living with her daughter and son-in-law. There was no Mr. Davis listed with the family. His whereabouts were unknown.

It is also unknown when Sudessa passed away, but she was laid to rest beside her first husband, John Ervin Kolb, in the Kolb Cemetery. She has no grave marker, as the original marker has been destroyed from years of neglect and being out in the elements. Only bits and pieces of the rock base can be seen now.
