     I missed the original message...I need to pay better attention :)
     William "Pharroz" was actually William Faris. And yes, Susannah was the daughter of James Curtis and Elizabeth Coffenberry (or Coffinberry, which was probably originally spelled something like Kaufenberger). Below is an out line of their family. Susannah and William Faris were my 4th g-grandparents! I would love to share more info.
