What's the source for Shoshana bat Hai Gaon?? If anything Rabbi Yossi mRomi is mentioned in certain places. Anyone have a source for Shoshana?

No where is a daughter mentioned. If Jaim Harlow dosen't respond I can assume he made it up. I will ask expert Jewish geneologist HaRav HaGaon Rabbi Aaron Spira and others in regards to this.

Rav Hai Gaon married the daughter of Gaon Sura Rav Shmuel Ben Hefni. He did not leave any children behind, and died seven years later, at the age of 99.
