About Susannah Arnold

Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/UNKNOWN-29825

As so often happens in early New England history, Susannah's maiden name and origin are lost.

Susannah, the widow of John Arnold of Hartford, was named in her husband's 1664 will.[1] Josiah Arnold was born about 1628, so logically Susannah and John were married before that time.[2]

Later in her life, John Winthrop lists her in his medical journal: Mrs. Susan Arnold 68 years, Hartford 1666, and Widow Arnol, above 70 years, Hartford 1667,[3] which makes her birth about 1596 or 1598.

John had agreed to settle in Hadley, Massachusetts, in 1659, but because he was weak he never moved. The Hadley members voted to give him £5 a year, during his life, and 50s a year to his wife after his decease.[4] Susannah separated to the Second Church by 22 Feb 1670.[5]

A record for her death has not been found but after 22 Feb 1670.

Children

  1. Josiah Arnold born about 1628 in England.[6] He is named in his father's will on 22 August 1664, but no further record.
  2. Joseph Arnold has no proof of birth year. Anderson says about 1634, but it is not known whether he was born in England or America. His brother Josiah is shown on an immigration record, but not Joseph. He married Elizabeth Wakeman (1630-1698) between 21 August 1659 and 11 February 1660. Joseph died on 22 October 1691 in East Haddam, Middlesex, Connecticut.
  3. Mary Arnold born about 1636 in Hartford, Connecticut. She married Emanuel Buck (1623-1695) on 17 April 1658 in Wethersfield, Connecticut.
  4. Daniel Arnold born about 1638 in Hartford, Connecticut. He married Elizabeth Osborn by about 1676.
  5. John ?[7][8]
  6. Unknown daughter ?[7][8]

Note: Neither John or an unknown daughter are mentioned in Arnold's will. Anderson states that John is unsubstantiated and doesn't even mention the Unknown daughter. But, did Trumbull have access to something that we are missing?

John Arnold's will dated 20 August 1664 begins: "I John Arnold of Hartford uppon the River of Connecticut." The inventory was taken on 26 December 1664. The will mentions his wife Susannah, son Josiah, son Joseph, son Daniel and granddaughter Mary Buck
