"Relict" was an ancient term still used in colonial (British) America, and in England of that era, now archaic, for a widow; it has come to be a generic or collective term for widows and widowers." (from wikipedia.com)

And it appears Suzannah made the voyage as a single person, or after her husband William Orchard passed.
