Susannah Northway decest in the 63d year of her age, November ye 7th 1704
After William’s death and the 1679 settlement of his estate, Susannah and her children returned to her hometown of Portsmouth, R.I. Here she met and married John Northway, a friend of the Briggs family. After the marriage of their mother, her three sons by her first husband, William Palmer, removed to Little Compton, R.I.
After John Northway’s death, Susannah removed to Little Compton and in 1697 was living near her three sons. On 2 Mar. 1702 Susannah Northway, widow, purchased property in Tiverton, R.I., from Edward Gray. This land was located next to her son Joseph Palmer.
Notes from Horace W Palmer:
(William Palmer) born 26 June 1638 (i.e., after his father’s death) probably at Duxbury, married SUSANNAH BRIGGS ca. 1663, killed in King Philip’s War in June 1675. Susannah was born in 1641 in Portsmouth, R.I., daughter of John and Sarah (Cornell) Briggs. Susannah married (2) John Northway between 1680 and 1683. John died before 1697. Susannah died 7 Nov. 1704 and was buried alongside her son John in the Old Commons
notes
From http://www.jobschildren.com/2015/05/the-family-of-susannah-briggs.h...
By his last wife, Mary, there was another William Palmer who was raised by her second husband, Robert Paddock, the blacksmith. This William moved to Dartmouth and married a young woman named Susannah. She was shown by a variety of maiden names, but those who have well studied the families and record of this era and area have come to the consensus, with undeniable proof, that she was Susannah Briggs, the daughter of John Briggs of Portsmouth, Rhode Island, a Deputy Commissioner

"The son of the young wife Mary, the posthumous William Palmer, married a Susanna, who has been variously confused in published material as Susanna Hathaway or Susanna Cooke. Her correct identity is shown by Carlton A. Palmer, Jr, 'Susannah (Briggs) Palmer of Plymouth Colony and Little Compton, Rhode Island,' in [Mayflower Quarterly] 50[1984]:188, as a daughter of John and Sarah (Cornell) Briggs and this Susanna married (2) John Northway. The familiy history by Horace Wilbur Palmer... has some significant errors."[3]
Not the daughter of John Cooke, "Mayflower" Passenger

She was incorrectly linked as wife of William Palmer, this is a historic error (see http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~barbpretz/PS03/PS03_246.HTM).
I do not know if she is documented as a daughter of William cooke, so I have left her here...
