CENSUS 1920 -- missing. However, in September 1920, Susan was in Canada at the wedding of her son, Joseph Murphy Scruggs II.

There is conflicting data about the children of Joseph Scruggs and Susan Baker.
- On the 1880 United States Census for Kansas, the first 3 children were Walter, Herndon and Martha.
- On the 1900 United States Census for Kansas, Susan is listed as having had 15 pregnancies, of which only 7 are alive: Walter, Lawrence, Joseph, Susan, Edward, Simeon, Edith. (p.2813-2814).
- On the 1910 US Federal Census for Kansas, Susan is listed as having had only 9 pregnancies, 7 of whom are alive.
- Clarise Scruggs wrote out a list of Joseph's siblings, only 10. There were 4 girls: Martha, Charlotte, Susan, Edith, and 6 boys -- Walter, Herndon, Lawrence, Joseph, Edward, Simeon.
- Ruth Scruggs stated that there was likely other girls born in 1881, 1882, and 1887 and a boy in 1885, bringing the total to 14 pregnancies; there is no official record of these other births so far. There is no record of any children born after Edith.
- The "Kansas, Births and Christenings, 1818-1936" record lists son Simeon as Susan's tenth birth in 1893. But we know of at least one birth after Simeon, that of Edith.
FamilySearch database changed the birth date from 18 Oct 1855 to 29 Oct 1854 -- no source listed for either (26jr14,ts). October 1855 is the birth date on the 1900 US Census for Susan (from FamilySearch).

HISTORY: SIMEON SCRUGGS (reference I.4.3.3.6), "son of Thomas Scruggs, Jr., by his wife Judith Buford, married Eloise [sic] Herndon, by whom he had issue, Mary Shipp, a noted beauty of Leavenworth, Kansas." (Scruggs Genealogy by Ethel Hastings Scruggs Dunklin; La Plante and Dunklin Printing Co., 1912, p.71)

HISTORY: "Dec. 18, 1856, Capt. W. S. Murphy, who with Simeon Scruggs, established the pioneer saw mill in Leavenworth that sawed the lumber from which the town was built, died at Weston." from December Events, Scrap (online source) http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/leavenwo/library/Scraps/Scraps10.htm, accessed August 12, 2013

HISTORY: from Wichita Daily Eagle. 6 Jun 1884 Atchison, KS. Known in Leavenworth, KS as Captain Simeon Scruggs. Simeon Scruggs and William S. Murphy owned a Leavenworth sawmill (1854). After the death of W.S. Murphy, the sawmill closed, about 1859. Simeon them moved to Kickapoo.
One of the earliest and most valuable institutions of Leavenworth, in the way of buildings, which commenced to flourish at this time, was the saw mill of Murphy & Scruggs, at the mouth of Three-Mills Creek, north side. Capt. W. S. Murphy and Capt. Simeon Scruggs were partners and completed the mill in the fall of 1854, so that they were able to issue the following advertisement in October: "Murphy & Scruggs have erected and have in successful operation at Leavenworth, K. T., a large steam saw mill of the most approved model and with all the recent improvements. They are ready to fill bills for lumber of every description and in quantity at the shortest notice and on favorable terms." This was the first saw mill not only in the county, but in the Territory. Although they made considerable money, the death of Capt. Murphy, and subsequent legal complications, so disarranged and consumed the partnership property that Capt. Scruggs lost nearly all his share in Leavenworth and retired to his farm near Kickapoo.

The Scruggs Place was located in Scott County, Kentucky, where Thomas settled with his five grown children (with the exception of his son Gross, who returned to Virginia). He gave to each, adjoining tracts of land near 'Lndsay Station' aout twelve miles from the city of Frankfort, and known to this day as the 'Old Scruggs Place'." (Dunklin, p.32)

STORY from familysearch.org. Accessed May 23, 2019:
Story of Samuel Nailor aka Nailer/Naylor
Samuel NAILER was born 5 July 1796 in York County Pennsylvania. He was Christened 5 August 1796 at York County, Pennsylvania; died 1861 in Guilford Township and buried at Acme Cemetery, Guilford, Medina County, Ohio. Samuel moved to Cumberland County and lived there, married and had the first 4 children.
Samuel grew up on a farm and for several years of his youth spent much of his time in hauling whiskey from his father’s and other distilleries to Baltimore where the principal market was for their product. It took six horses to haul a load of thirty barrels of whiskey over the mountain highways.
He married 14 March 1820, Elizabeth UHLER, a native of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania recorded in 1st Evangelical Lutheran Church at Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania (possible daughter of one Detrick UHLER also living in Cumberland County and on the census with George Nailer Jr.) They lived for a time on a small farm there, renting the farm until the fall of 1829 they set out in a covered two- horsed wagon for Ohio. It took them two weeks to make the journey. Samuel had previously bought land in Guilford Township of Medina County. This land was part of an immense tract of area ...

The entire story was not available onlline on the 23rd. So, I got the following on the 24th. The first part is about Samuel Jr.
Samuel Naylor 1823-1909 • LHHS-3XW​​ was tagged in a story
Samuel Naylor of Lorain County Ohio
He became one of the biggest land owners in Penfield, was of old Pennsylvania Stock and was born in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 27 February 1823 and was 85 years of age when called home to rest. His grandfather, Jacob Nailor was a farmer and distiller of whiskey when that was a principal industry in Pennsylvania.

Samuel's father Samuel Naylor Sr was born in York, Pennsylvania and grew up on a farm. For several years he spent much of his time hauling whiskey from his father's and other distilleries to Baltimore. It took 6 horses to haul one load of 50 barrels over the mountainous roadways. He was married in Cumberland County to Elizabeth Uhler, a native of that county and of German descent. After they were married they rented land for a while. They had 4 children while in Cumberland, Pennsylvania; Mary, Samuel, Benjamin K, Jacob and Rebecca and then had a daughter Eliza, at Lancaster County, PA before they went west.
In Medina County, Ohio they had four more children: John, William, Sarah and Henry. The mother of these children died on a farm in Medina County, and Samuel removed to Seville, buying a small farm in the village. He married second Harriet Sheldon, by whom there was one child, Harriet. He died at age 73, was a whig and abolitionist. He had traveled in the South and was convinced that the practice of slavery would never be decided except by war.
Samuel Naylor Jr was about six years old when the family moved to Guilford, Medina County, Ohio. He helped clear his father's land and besides working at home, he hired out to others and became a skillful shingle maker.
In 1845 he was married to Barbara Long, born September 1824 in Toronto, Canada, a daughter of John Long who settled in Medina County. After his marriage they lived in Litchfield and then moved to Penfield in Lorain County, OH where he bought 1007 acres of wild land for 6 dollars an acre. He had to cut through the woods to get to it. He had it paid for in a few years and converted it into a fertile farm.
Samuel by his first wife had the following children:Jacob, Henry, Elizabeth, Rebecca and Harriet A, Laney E, Emma, Mary, Harvey G and Dora. The mother died in January 1874. He then married Nancy E Yocum, who died in 1882 without having children.
By 1894 he married Sarah Elizabeth Arbaugh and had two sons Charle William and Samuel Hobart Naylor. She survived and resided at Wellington. Samuel acquired a large estate of 400 acres and erected a fine country home there. He was a successful business man but a leader in educational matters and donated some land for the building of a district school. He was active in the United Brethren church.
