It appears that Susan Brubaker did indeed marry Thomas "Lebozier", as written in the bio by Rolandus Brubaker, however, his name usually appears as Thomas Labezius. Interesting as well is that Thomas appears to be the 2nd husband of Susan Brubaker ... and Susan is the 2nd wife for Thomas ... after he married Mary Ann Collins ... only ... Thomas was the 2nd husband of Mary Ann Collins because she was first married to William Patton!!! Busy little beavers! No idea if all their spouses died ... also ... Thomas is about 10 years older than Susan but he lives about 10 years longer, his last years with his son, Harry. Blended families from the past!
