Susannah _____ married John Compton, a laborer & clothier, by about 1632 in England (assuming she was the mother of his only known child). They came to Massachusetts Bay in 1634. They first settled in Roxbury; moved to Boston by 1637. (On 25 February 1642/3, "Susan the wife of our brother John Compton" was admitted to Boston church.) She died by 12 November 1664, when her will was proved.
Their only proven child: Abigail (Campton) Brisco Busby.
In her undated will, proved 12 November 1664, Susannah Compton, "widow of the long since departed John Compton," bequeathed her entire estate to "my little grandchild, Joseph Brisco." In the settlement of the estate it was decided that Abraham Busby would receive half for bringing up Joseph Brisco, and the other half to be paid to Joseph at age twenty-one.
The inventory of the estate of Susannah Compton, taken 12 November 1664, totalled £16 16s., none of which was real estate.
