Susanna (?)1
F, b. circa 1564
| Last Edited | 8 Nov 2019 |
Susanna (?) was born circa 1564 at England. She married Edward Hutchinson, son of John Hutchinson, circa 1585 at England.1
Susanna Left four grown children in England, and at the age of about 70 years, arrived in New England with her daughter Mary, and her husband, John Wheelwright.
Almost immediately upon their arrival, Wheelwright became embroiled in the events of the Antinomian Controversy and was banished from the colony in November 1637. While Wheelwright headed north to New Hampshire that winter, his family, including his mother-in-law Susanna, stayed at Mount Wollaston, waiting for spring before joining him. After living in Exeter for three or four years, Wheelwright was compelled to move again, and established a community at Wells, Maine by 1642, where he and his family lived until early 1647. It is here in Wells that Susanna died, and historians Noyes, Libby and Davis offer that she "may be the earliest born emigrant to die in Maine."1
