Susanna Winslow

• Descendant of Mayflower passengers Mary Winslow and James Chilton.
• SUSANNA WINSLOW 3 (Mary Chilton 2 , James l ) b. Plymouth prob. bef. 1630; d. E. Bridgewater after 14 Nov. 1685. Susanna's grave is not marked with a headstone. The marker, placed by her 3rd GreatGrandson Williams Latham, in this cemetery marks Susanna's life, but does not mark her grave.

Married

• Married: She m. prob. at Plymouth ca. 1649 ROBERT LATHAM, b. prob. England ca. 1623; d. E. Bridgewater bef. 28 Feb. 1688/9 ae 76.
• North America, Family Histories, 1500-2000 for Rob Latham

He lived with the Rev. Thomas Shepard in Cambridge for two years, prior to 12 Nov. 1646, then moved to Plymouth, later to Marshfield by 1650 where he was constable in 1653. Although all his property was confiscated by the court in 1655, he was accepted as a freeman two years later; and after he and Susanna removed to E. Bridgewater about 1660.

They evidently moved up the economic ladder, for after his death his children sold land originally belonging to him.

Although the record-book copy of the will of John Winslow (#7) dated October 1683 mentions “the two sons of my sister Susanna Latham decd”, three sons were then alive, and Susanna would acknowledge a deed in Nov. 1685. The disappearance of the original will is a matter of regret!

No probate records exist for either Robert or Susanna Latham. But on 28 Feb. 1688/9 Joseph Latham of Bridgewater sold land bought by “my father Robert Latham late of Bridgewater decd.”; on 13 Aug. 1714

Joseph Washborn Sr.,of Bridgewater [husband of Hannah Latham] surrendered rights to land “of my father-in-law Robert Latham decd.”; and on 18 April 1715 James Latham of Bridgewater quitclaimed to his brother Chilton Latham rights to land “of our father Robert Latham.” In addition, the will of Mary (Chilton) Winslow (#3) names three grandchildren in the order Mercy Harris, Mary Pollard and Susanna Latham--the only record of Mary, and aside from a mention in John Winslow's will, the only record of Susanna. Since Mary Pollard's name occurs between those of Mercy Harris and Susanna Latham, both daughters of Robert and Susanna, it is possible, although far from certain, that Mary was also theirs.

Although no birth, probate or land record substantiates a daughter Elizabeth, Mr. Bowman's acceptance of her, a marriage record of an otherwise unplaced Elizabeth Latham, and the names Robert and Susanna given to her firstborn children--all warrant her inclusion in this family.

On the other hand, no proof-was found to substantiate the claim by Mitchell and by Savage for a daughter Sarah Latham. The daughter Sarah is here replaced by Susanna, based on Williams Latham' s suggestion in “Bridgewater Corrections” and reasoning offered in Mary Chilton's Title to Celebrity.

England ca. 1623; d. E. Bridgewater bef. 28 Feb. 1688/9 ae 76.

He lived with the Rev. Thomas Shepard in Cambridge for two years,

prior to 12 Nov. 1646, then moved to Plymouth, later to Marshfield by

1650 where he was constable in 1653. Although all his property was

confiscated by the court in 1655, he was accepted as a freeman two years

later; and after he and Susanna removed to E. Bridgewater about 1660

they evidently moved up the economic ladder, for after his death his

children sold land originally belonging to him.

Although the record-book copy of the will of John Winslow (#7)

dated October 1683 mentions ?the two sons of my sister Susanna Latham

decd?, three sons were then alive, and Susanna would acknowledge a

deed in Nov. 1685. The disappearance of the original will is a matter of

regret!

No probate records exist for either Robert or Susanna Latham. But

on 28 Feb. 1688/9 Joseph Latham of Bridgewater sold land bought by

?my father Robert Latham late of Bridgewater decd.?; on 13 Aug. 1714

Joseph Washborn Sr.,of Bridgewater [husband of Hannah Latham] surrendered

rights to land ?of my father-in-law Robert Latham decd.?; and

on 18 April 1715 James Latham of Bridgewater quitclaimed to his brother

Chilton Latham rights to land ?of our father Robert Latham.? In addition

the will of Mary (Chilton) Winslow (#3) names three grandchildren in the

order Mercy Harris, Mary Pollard and Susanna Latham--the only record

of Mary, and aside from a mention in John Winslow's will, the only record

of Susanna. Since Mary Pollard's name occurs between those of Mercy

Harris and Susanna Latham, both daughters of Robert and Susanna, it is

possible, although far from certain, that Mary was also theirs.

Although no birth, probate or land record substantiates a daughter

Elizabeth, Mr. Bowman's acceptance of her, a marriage record of an

otherwise unplaced Elizabeth Latham, and the names Robert and Susanna
