I am trying to get additional information on one of the 40 persons, a women named Susanna Roberts, that Col Richard Lee was listed as importing in his 5 June 1658 Virginia Patent for 2,000 acres. The original patent listed her name as Susanna Roberts https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C37S-S9WR-6 , the later copy of the Land Office Patents No. 4, 1655-1664, p. 372 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C379-1SNS-D , the one most people refer to, does not list the names. I am looking for the name she used when she boarded in England, as I believe she married Bartholomew Roberts once she arrived in Virginia. Any thoughts would be helpful

Thank you

I don't think there is any way to know whether Roberts was her maiden or married name based on land patents.  Most of the people named as headrights on patents weren't imported by the person who obtained the patent.  Headrights were routinely sold and in many cases weren't claimed until many years after the person had arrived.
Are there any lists of the passengers from the two ships he was a part owner of?
