Also known as Susanna O'Hearn, who married Thomas/William Grubbs, ca. 1743, in Albemarle Co, Virginia. The "Virginia Births & Christening Index" gives her birth or baptism as 2 Mar 1729, in St. Peters Parrish, New Kent Co, Virginia; born to Owen & Catherine O'Herne. No other source confirms this, with a caveat, "significant issues with the data (index) have been identified".

Susanna's burial is noted by Hazel Spraker, in The Boone Family, as "about three miles west of Richmond, Kentucky, on the Tate's Creek Pike", which coincides with the location of son Higgason's family homestead. The Boone Papers, aka Draper Manuscript) claims Susannah followed son Higgason to Kentucky, ca. 1780, then died at the age of 103, which would be highly unlikely, especially for that era. Others claim her death date as 2 April, 1817 (unsourced).
