  • Notes 
    • Susanna White (nee Jackson)
      description
      Born: c 1595 Scrooby
      Died: After 1656 Marshfield,

      Recent research by Sue Allan and Caleb Johnson has discovered that Susanna White’s parents were Separatist Richard and Mary (Pettinger) Jackson. She was born around 1595 and probably at Scrooby Manor, Nottinghamshire where her father was once Bailiff & Receiver and a leaseholder.
      Susanna married William White (place and date unknown) and their son – Resolved - was born in about 1615. All three sailed on the Mayflower.
      Susanna was pregnant at the time of sailing and gave birth to another son – Peregrine in late November/December 1620 while the Mayflower was still anchored offshore.
      She re-married Edward Winslow in May 1621. It was the first marriage in Plymouth. In total Susanna had 7 children – 2 with William White and 5 with Edward Winslow. Only 4 survived – two from each marriage - to adulthood. Susanna had 22 grandchildren when she passed away. Susanna is last known to be alive when recorded in a petition presented to Oliver Cromwell in 1656. She is buried in Marshfield cemetery not far from Plymouth.
