Susannah Beale Hamilton was born at "Chesnut Hill" the daughter of Capt. William Beale and Ann Harwar. Chesnut Hill was located in Richmond County, Virginia between the present day Mount Airy estate and Menokin.
She married her first cousin, John Tayloe Hamilton, the son of her aunt, Anne Beale Hamilton. The couple removed to Orange County, Virginia where her brothers had acquired large tracks of land. The Hamiltons are recorded in several instances regarding debt collections and in a number of instances letters survive in the Madison collection in which John Hamilton sought debt protection and aid for mismanagement of finances and poor business decisions. The couple were forced to sell the first property they owned in Orange County and mortgage the enslaved people they held in bondage.
They eventually settled at Annadale adjacent to present day Gordonsville, Virginia. The central portion of the present house is believed to have either been built by the Hamiltons or is built on the foundation of their home. The property was sold to Robert King in 1816 in order to pay off the large debts left behind by John Hamilton.
Susannah Hamilton is believed to have spent her last years in Gordonsville.
