Susan Sheldon

Biography

From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sheldon-211 April 2019

John Jr, born about 1660 in (estimated) Newport, Rhode Island. Tradition says that John Jr married Deliverance Palmer and Susan Cleremont. It should also be noted that no one is entirely sure who the mother of John Sr's children was. The Sheldon Family Association currently has Susan Cleremont, as noted in the original magazine from 1855. The name of Susan Cleremont has become suspect as there is no known "Cleremont" family in New England at the time. Deliverance Palmer has also been suggested, however it seems that both are pure speculation based on family tradition passed down through the generations. There is no current documentation either way. The mother, whomever she was, seems to have died prior to her husband in 1704 as she is not mentioned in his will, but he does list all of his children and his "honored mother Sarah".

From his Will and also from the Sheldon Family Association website, John had the following children[2]:

1. John (b abt 1685), m. Herodias Watson
2. Isaac (married Susanna Potter and Sarah)
3. Joseph, m. perhaps Mehitable Godfrey
4. Elizabeth (married Daniel Sunderland before 1704),
5. Abigail
6. Mary
7. Dinah (married Jabez Gifford)

This family lived in the Narraganset Country and later in South Kingston.
