Susanna Tarleton

Date Issues

1. Someone had 1641 as the date of her birth. Stephen was born in 1640, so it's plausible, but she would be only 14 at the time of her marriage.
2. 5/21/1655 is the date she was married, not the date she died, so I removed it from her profile.
3. I've seen 1687 as her date of death, so I added that, but I haven't looked for a source.
4. She couldn't have given birth to Elizabeth in 1696 when she would have been 61.
5. Dates of her children's birth in her timeline are wrong.

All dates should be verified. Marilyn

Involved in Bacon's Rebellion. Stephen Tarleton and Charles Bostwicke were taken into custody by the Sheriff of York County in May 1682 for words greatly encouraging the present distractions, by cutting up tobacco plants. This was the last uprising of its kind before the unrest leading to the American Revolution.

GEDCOM Note

(Research): «u»Death Date?«/u» If she died c1655...that doesn't make sense with the children's birthdates? --------------------------------------
They reportedly had another dtr. Mary Tarleton m. 1st)Hughes 2nd)Robert Napier b. 15 Sep 1697.
-------------------------------------
Pedigree Chart from Nell Edwards of Washington, In: Susanna was the sister to George Bates.

From «i»Adventurers of Purse and Person«/i»--source: Pg 424 Tidewater Virginia Families by Virginia Lee Hutcheson: [Was Susanna the daughter of John Bates? 1598-1666]: If Susanna was the daughter of John Bates who makes no mention of her in his will, but "perhaps he was not pleased with her marriage to Stephen Tarleton. "Tarleton lived a very colorful life to the detriment of his reputation before marriage."
