One earliest genealogical work from 1862 and a few genealogical works from the early 1900s did not mention anything about her maiden name. Few records of Massachusetts Bay Colony and Plymouth Colony mention only the first name of William Salisbury's wife, and they say that her name was either Suzana or Susanna. Susanna's maiden name remains unknown, and her parentage remains unknown.
Susanna was born between 1630 and 1635. Her childbearing would naturally stop at the age of 40 to 45. If her last child was born in 1675, she probably was born between 1630 and 1635. If her first child was born in 1651, she would be between 16 and 21 years old to give birth to the first child, so she could not be born before 1630. If Susanna was born in 1624 and her last child Joseph was born in 1675, she would be 51 years old, so it passed her age of childbearing at 40.
Susanna married William Salisbury, but neither Massachusetts Bay Colony, Plymouth Colony nor England had any record of their marriage. The date of the marriage is unknown, but it is probably sometime before 1651, based on the burial information which provides the age of 86 at the death of their daughter, Abigail (Salisbury) Williston in 1736. However, the New England Marriages prior to 1700 by Clarence Almon Torrey said that they were married before 1659 either in Dorchester or in Milton because their son, William Salesbury's birth record of 1659 was preserved in Dorchester, and it was only the earliest record to give the source for the date of their marriage.
They had the following nine children in 24 years.
1. Abigail (Salisbury) Williston (1651 - 1736)
2. John Salisbury (abt. 1655 - 1675)
3. William Salisbury, Jr (1659 - 1726)
4. Elizabeth Salisbury (abt. 1661)
5. Susannah (Salisbury) Seamans (1662 - 1712)
6. Hana Salisbury (1665 - 1665)
7. Samuel Salisbury (1666 - 1757)
8. Cornelius Salisbury (1668 - 1722)
9. Hanah Salisbury (1671)
10. Joseph Salisbury (1675 - 1714)
The church record from Dorchester, Massachusetts Bay Colony says that on 7 May 1677, "ye widdow Salsbery" was admitted to full communion in Dorchester Church, and on 1 July 1677, her eight children were baptized.
On 30 July 1679, the selectmen of Dorchester voted to grant the widow Salisbury libertie to get 2,100 clapboards out of the common swamps.
On 18 September 1681, she was dismissed to join the church at Milton, formed, and on 2 October 1681, admitted there to full communion.
Finally, the Suffolk County probate record again mentions that on "Nov. 11, 1684, administration de bonis non— of William Salisbury, late of Milton deed. int. formerly under the adm. of Susanna his Relict also deed.- granted unto his eldest son, William Salisbury Swansea." (Suffolk Probate, 6:215). It was the last mention of her at Milton, Massachusetts Bay Colony.
Susanna died about or before 11 November 1684, and her eldest son, William of Swansea was named administrator of her estate and that of his father which had previously been under the widow's administration.
