Biographical Information
Susanna White's origins, and maiden name, are unknown. The
claim she was Susanna Tilley has been disproven, and the William White
who married Anna Fuller in Leiden is now generally believed to not have
been the Mayflower passenger. That particular William White
witnessed an antenumptual agreement of Samuel Lee in Leiden in April
1621, and witnessed the marriage of Sarah Priest in October 1621, and so
couldn't have been the Mayflower passenger. So, Mrs.
Susanna White's identity and English origins remain unknown.
Susanna came on the Mayflower with husband William, and son
Resolved. She was pregnant, and gave birth to son Peregrine while
the Mayflower was still anchored off the tip of Cape Cod.
Her husband William died the first winter, and she remarried a few
months later to fellow Mayflower passenger Edward Winslow.
Their marriage in May 1621 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. Susanna died
sometime after 1654, when she is mentioned in her husband's will.
