Disputed identity
According to the Rucker Society, Susannah was not Susannah Phillips as written in the Whitley book.
Note for the above research note: Please post what evidence the Rucker society used to dispute Whitley's research. A unsourced statement (actually not a statement at all as there is nothing there other than saying there is something there, in a genealogy paper printed called 'Rucker Ruckus' ) This hardly a genealogical proof or legitimate source record.
it is also said that Susannah was the daughter of William Phillips and Susannah LLoyd. There is no mention of Susannah in her mother's 1726 will.
it appears Susannah Coghill is the correct spouse as they lived nearby in the same area of St. Marks Parish.
Frederick Coghill's daughter Susanna was named in her father's Will as "Suanna (sic) Miller," wife of John Miller (W. B. 11,
p.146, 12 Oct. 1758, Essex Co., Va.). Susannah Rucker could not have been the daughter of Frederick Coghill.

Biography
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Phillips-14992
Susanna was born in 1684. She passed away in 1742.
What we can surmise about Susannah: She was born early in the 18th century and lived almost ninety years. She was probably born in the Eastern part of Virginia (her husband was raised in Essex County, Virginia and probably married there). They moved to the area that is now Orange County — the then frontier of Virginia. Anyone that wanted to settle there was given land (as a buffer to the Indians). John’s father was an Immigrant to this country, and they had little money and land, so they took the opportunity to move west to “free” lands. From the deeds we know they only had 130 acres — too small to make a living for their twelve children by farming. John ran a tavern in his home and I’m sure Susannah, not only kept the home, a kitchen garden, raised the children, but helped with the tavern. Her husband died young, in early 1743, leaving her with small children (the youngest was a baby). When the children were grown, most of them moved to Amherst County, Virginia. She stayed behind in Orange County with her oldest son, who owned the adjoining property. Then twenty-five years later, in 1769, she sold her land and moved to Amherst where she lived the remainder of her life.
