Around 1806, Susannah Painter moved with her daughter and son-in-law, Sarah and Jesse Holloway, to the vicinity of Salem, Columbiana County, Ohio, where a Quaker community was forming. Her son Jacob also settled near Salem in 1802, and her daughter Susannah was married there in 1809. There is no record of her death or burial. It is likely that she was buried in the first Friends burial ground near Salem.

"The length of their sojourn in Virginia however was limited to a generation, or less. These Strattans were Quakers, and as Quakers they were opposed to slavery. For a while there was a large Society of Friends in Virginia, but their antislavery views caused bitter feelings against them, and many of them after a few years sought homes in the free states. Most of these Strattans moved from Virginia to Pennsylvania and Ohio between 1800 and 1812." (Stratton, p. 254.) Great-great-great-great-great-grandmother of submitter. Reviewed 20 July 2022.
