Susan Caroline Tomlinson was born 19 Nov 1850 in Rusk County Texas to Leonard and Mary (Franklin) Tomlinson. Now depending on where you get the information her father Leonard either died in August 1850 before she was born or he died in December just weeks after she was born of B. Fever. When Susan was one month old her brother John W Tomlinson died on 21 Dec1850. And on 7th of April 1851 her mother Mary Patsy (Franklin) Tomlinson died.
Now I searched for months trying to find who had taken in the Tomlinson orphans or what had happened to them. I found that Susan older sister Rebecca Elizabeth Tomlinson had married on the 30 April 1851 in rusk County to her 1st cousin (Mary's sister Judith Polly Franklin's son) William Franklin Farrow. But that still left 4 children under 10 years of age, I was able to find Osbourne Goodwin Tomlinson living with Alva KuyKendell who was one of the Tomlinson's neighbors, I searched thru every page of every census in the whole county before I found her living with another member of the KuyKendells in 1860 just a few doors down from her parents place. But they had her with their last name. And then I found when she Married John Welcome Riddle in Nacogdoches County Texas on 14 Nov 1869 5 days before she turned 19. And I found her in the 1870 census living with her new husband and her brother and sister.
John and Susan moved a few times in Texas and had 6 children while living in Texas and in 1886-1887 they packed everything up and moved to what was going to become Whatcom County Washington. They choose to homestead about 22 miles outside of Bellingham and the town was eventually named after John, it become known as Welcome Washington. John was the post master there, if they wanted to go to town in the early days they had to ferry across the middle fork of the Nooksack until the bridge was built many years later. Susan's husband John died in 1920 and she died 3 years later both in the little town named after them
