Susanna Becher

Almost nothing is known of Susannah Becher. She was apparently described as deceased in the 1767 will of her father Lionel Becher. However only an abstract survives and it may have misinterpreted the will or maybe a codicil was added as Susanna seems to have died slightly later in 1668.
