Susannah Searing

John Searing was born about 1647-1648 in Hempstead, Long Island. The first record I have on him in America is when he paid taxes in Hempstead in 1685. He was married in Hempstead, Long Island on May 10, 1671 to Susan Pine of Hempstead.

Susan was the daughter of James Pine and Susannah Armitage. James Pine was the son of James Pine senior and Edith Williams. Susannah Armitage was the daughter of Thomas Armitage and Susan Mitchell. Thomas Armitage was a good friend of Simon Searing and another very early settler in Stamford. Both the Pines and the Armitages were early settlers of Hempstead and English in origins.

The children were:

JOHN SEARING was born in 1674 and died in 1718. He married Ann Pearsall.

JAMES SEARING was married twice, first to Sarah someone in 1703 He later remarried

to Temperance Williams Seaman in 1735. She was the daughter of John Williams and the

Widow of David Seaman. He died on May 2, 1746. They had the following children: James,

Daniel, Sarah who married Jacob Fowler and Mary who married Daniel Williams.

SIMON SEARING is my line and is covered in the next section. He was born in about

1676 and married Aphia Ball about 1700.

JONATHAN SEARING was born about 1685 and married an Elizabeth in 1706. His will

was proved in February of 1738.

MERCY SEARING was born in 1688 and died February 6, 1763. She married Samuel

Denton in 1710 and then Abel Birdseye in February of 1717.

HANNAH SEARING was born in 1683.

SARAH SEARING was born in 1691.

MARY SEARING was born in 1689.

SAMUEL SEARING must have been a son based on being named a brother by Simon

Searing in his will of 1735. He was born in 1681 and died in 1738. Samuel's own will was

dated October 6, 1738 in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Based on the information in that will

we find his wife was named Rose. They had the following children listed in that will: Isaac,

Elizabeth wife of David Morehouse and Hannah wife of Simeon Bryant. He also lists six

minor' children: Samuel, John (who I believe later married Ann Ludlam), Mary, Phebe,

Sarah and Susannah Searing.
