1860 census - age 27, keeping house - the baby got a name, Melina died? - she had four more kids. Mary
has married and lives next door. Little Martha knows grandpa lives next door. Is Susan grandma at 27?

Notes:
We went to familysearch.org and looked for Elihu H. Hunt. We found his marriage date
to Susan Paschell,
26 Aug 1847 so we know the two babies are hers. It was not unusual for girls to marry quite young in special
circumstances. Motherless Mary Ann Chapman 16, was working live-in as a mother's helper when she met and married James Richey 39.
To duplicate this search:
We found more about Susan by looking for more about Elihu.
Go to: http://www.familysearch.org
first name: elihu h
last name: hunt
event: choose birth/christening
year: 1814
choose: exact year
choose: United States
choose: Kentucky
In the list for Elihu look at 10., 11., 13. (where Susan is mentioned).
At this point you do a lot of clicking: click on 10, click on Susan, click on pedigree, go back one
and click on family. Try everything just to get a feel for these records and the way familysearch does things.
The name of the submitter is sometimes given - if you want to contact them for their sources. (The addresses may be outdated.)
Was Susan this person's great great grandmother so they know her name? Is there a will, a marriage license, some original piece of paper?
Only by asking questions will you find answers.
