Susannah was the daughter of Jean "George" Jeanperrin and Catherine Elizabeth Jollimois; her grandparents and her father- and mother-in-law emigrated to Nova Scotia in 1752 from Montbeliard (now part of France). They were French-speaking Lutherans. She married, about 1802, George Frederick Langille, and they had nine children.
Family back in Nova Scotia referred to him as "Buffalo George," to distinguished him from a cousin also named George Frederick, presumably because he died on a canal boat near Buffalo, NY, while in the process of moving his family to the Great Lakes region. In the U.S., the surname Jeanperrin was shortened to PERRIN, and the name Langille often was anglicized to LANGELL.
Susannah did not remarry after her husband died in 1835, she was most likely supported by her sons, four of whom were already 20 years of age or older by that time. Most of her sons engaged in ship carpentry, in St. Clair, Michigan, or Toledo or Cleveland, Ohio. Stephen F. Langille became a partner in "Radcliffe & Langell," a prominent shipbuilding company in Cleveland.
Susannah was buried in 1870 at the Monroe Street Cemetery of Cleveland. But in 1929, her grandson Frederick Langell (son of Stephen and Catherine Perrin Langell), had her casket and those of his parents removed from that cemetery and placed in Lakewood Park Cemetery, Cleveland, Ohio.
