Susannah's older brother, Edward, was a preacher for the local United Brethren church. In 1840, Wilford Woodruff arrived in the area as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and taught the church. Over 300 members of the United Brethren converted in 1840, including the Green, Burrup, and Phillips families.
