Notes for Susannah [Hylton]
Some researchers (e.g., Elza Cox) identify Elijah Hylton's wife as "Susannah Slusher", supposedly a sister of Christopher Slusher. This identification has now been propogated widely on family trees submitted to Ancestry.com. However, the attribution is purely "by tradition"; primary sources name Elijah's wife only as Susannah.
In the early 1760's when Elijah Hylton was first married, the Hylton family was in Goochland Co. VA and Bedford Co. VA, while the Slusher family was still in Pennsylvania at the same period and did not migrate to Maryland until about 1782-1783 nor to Virginia until after 1787. So despite tradition it does not seem likely that Elijah Hylton's wife was closely related to Christopher Slusher.
