Susannah's grave is not marked with a headstone. In his book, "Epitaphs in Old Bridgewater", Williams Latham wrote:"The adult persons living and dying in this part of old Bridgewater previous to 1703, and probably buried in this yard, so far as is known, were N. Byram, 1688, and his wife, Robert Latham and wife, 1685-1688; Jonathan Cary, of Beaver, 1695; Experience Mitchell, of Elmwood, 1689; Mercy Harris, wife of Issac Harris, about 1682. No other public place of burial is known to have been used; and we find a very few private burying-grounds in the early settlement of the town, here, or elsewhere, in old Bridgewater."

Susannah was the Executrix of the will of her husband. She made an oath to the inventory on June 16, 1688.

Susannah made her will on September 7, 1698. She bequeathed to her children and grandchildren, and gave freedom to her negro Tom and her maid. As part of her probate records, the inventory of her estate begins with "A true inventory of the estate of Susannah Byram widow deceased the 28th of November 1700 in the town of Bridgewater in the county of Plymouth in New England"
