Biography

Anna (Yong) Evance immigrated to New England between 1621 and 1640 and later departed for Plympton St. Mary, Devonshire, England

Susanna Yong^[1]was born about 1605.

She married John Evance at St. Stephen's, Coleman Street, London, England in 1624.^[1]

By 1639 John and Anna had migrated to New England^[1]along with other members of Rev. John Davenport's church in London,^[2]settling in New Haven.^[1][3]

By 1655, her husband John Evance had left New Haven to continue his career as a London merchant. Susanna acted for him in New England after October 17, 1653, which indicates he had already left for England by that date. By March of 1654/55 John Davenport reported that "'Mrs. Evance' had received news from England, and she probably returned to London herself soon after that."^[1]

John Evance made his will on December 13, 1660 and it was proved on May 2, 1661. His wife Susanna was named; as well as their children Daniel, John, Thomas, Stephen.^[1]

Susanna Evance married (2nd) to naval official and politician Henry Hatsell at St. Leonard's Eastcheap, London on June 17, 1661. She retired with him to Saltram House, Plympton St. Mary, Devon.^[1]Susanna died in 1667^[4]
