Disputed Origins

While FamilySearch.org gives the birth information for a Susan Munson, whose parents were John Munson and his wife Elizabethe Munson,^[1]there is no indication that the birth was for this Susan who migrated to New England in 1634. Therefore the the *parents* are being detached with notes on their profiles. If, in the future, new evidence comes to light, they may certainly be reattached after discussion with the Puritan Great Migration project through the comment section on this profile.

There is no proof that she was sister or wife of the immigrant Thomas Munson.

Biography

Susan Munson was born probably in England in 1609. She migrated on the Elizabeth of Ispwich. She was enrolled at London, 30 April 1634, aged 25, bound for the Massachusetts Bay Colony, as "with John Firmin." ^[2][3]

Robert Charles Anderson in his Great Migration Series, states that no records have been found for this passenger in New England.^[4] Savage in his Genealogical Dictionary inaccuratey suggests that Susan was perhaps the wife of Thomas Munson of New Haven.^[5] However, Thomas' only known wife was named Joanna.^[4][6]
