Susanna; married bef. 1655 (and prob abt 1647) Samuel Jenney, born abt 1618, son of John and Sarah (Carey) Jenney. The Jenneys of Plymouth were a sea-faring family; after his father's 1644 death, Samuel removed to Portsmouth, but by early 1652 placed his wife and children with his mother in Plymouth. Susannah d 23 Mar 1654/5, leaving two sons and a daughter Sarah who she put into the custody of Thomas Clarke. This act made the grandmother (mother of Samuel Jenney) angry and she changed her will to exclude Susannah's children unless they returned to her. Samuel's mother died shortly after August 1655. Samuel did not regain custody of little Sarah until after 1659. SOURCE: Bertha W. Clark, John Wood of Rhode Island and His Early Descendants on the Mainland, (Crete, Ill.: 1966).
