Claim: American painter Susannah Fauntleroy Quarles Nicholson was married twice, first to an Italian laborer, and then to painter Jacob Cannon Nicholson.
Evidence: Susannah (sometimes Susanna) Fauntleroy Quarles Nicholson (1804–1858) was an American painter. Details of her early life were kept secret by her family, but it appears that early on, prior to her union with Nicholson, she married a poor music teacher, an immigrant from Italy; other "colorful" happenings have also been hinted at, though with scant evidence.
