I have been getting a lot of nasty messages stating this is not Susanna Jackson. I have never said this was a photo of her. It may or may not have been done in a different form and may or may not be her. Her husband portrait was done as well as son Josiah and wife Penelope. So why not Susanna? There is no proof but I will keep my picture up until proven otherwise. Do not leave nasty message I will block and not read.
Susanna's date are not exact. She was married to both William White and Edward Winslow (Mayflowers passengers) . Many have Susanna Fuller as the wife which after extensive search, is incorrect.
Susanna White's origins were just discovered in 2017, after more than a century of failed attempts to identify her. The claim she was Susanna Tilley has been disproven, and the William White who married Anna Fuller in Leiden was not the Mayflower passenger either: that particular William White, woolcomber, witnessed a nuptial agreement of Samuel Lee in Leiden on 10 April 1621, and so couldn't have been the Mayflower passenger (who had already died).
Susanna's husband William died the first winter at Plymouth on 21 February 1620/1, and she remarried a few months later to fellow Mayflower passenger Edward Winslow on 12 May 1621. Their marriage was the first marriage at Plymouth. Susanna was one of only four adult women to have survived to see the "First Thanksgiving" at Plymouth that autumn.
On 30 October 1623, Edward Winslow wrote to Susanna's uncle Robert Jackson, clerk of sewers, enquring about his father-in-law (i.e. Richard Jackson), his wife's brother (whom we have identified as Thomas Jackson), and his wife's sisters. Several letters written by Richard Jackson to his brother Robert survive in the clerk of sewers records at Spalding dated 1623 and 1624. The signatures on those letters, match the signature of Richard Jackson found on the Scrooby Manor lease of 1604. The letters reveal Richard Jackson had traveled to Holland, was in contact with Puritan ministers in London, and he was writing from Everton (the parish that borders Scrooby Manor).
In 1651, her husband Edward Winslow had a portrait done in London. In the portrait, he is holding a letter. Careful examination of this letter reveals the last lines are actually legible--they read "your loving wife, Susanna".
Susanna died sometime after 1654, when she is mentioned in her husband's will.
