Biography

Susanna Dana, daughter of Anderson Dana and Susanna (Huntington) Dana, was born about 16 Jan. 1762.^[1][2]

She married Jabez Fish as his second wife ^[1][2]. These are probably children of this family:

• Diantha (Fish); married (?name) Dana
• Maria (Fish; 1798-1847); married Jesse Brown
• Jabez Fish (1799-1876); married Amanda Park
• Lemira (Fish; 1803-1884); married Rev. Chester Park

Susanna died on 4 April 1844 at Sheshequin, Bradford County, Pennsylvania and was buried at Sheshequin Valley Cemetery, Sheshequin, Bradford County, Pennsylvania. Her memorial has a photo of her headstone and links to those of family members.^[2]

Notes

[JRF]Note: The Fish family (1948) anthology lists Diantha and Lemira as children of Jabez' first wife, Sarah Avery, however their birth dates are not listed, so it is plausible that they might have been children of his second wife instead. Perhaps a primary reference could be found to sort out this question.

Further, the Fish anthology reference provides the name of Jabez and Susannah's daughter, Maria Fish, who married Jesse Brown (1797-1882), and whose pre-existing profile is herewith linked.
