Research Notes

Find A Grave: Memorial #66804170 page states she was born Mar 11 1818 in Enfield, Connecticut, dau of Ebenezer Pease and Mindwell Sexton. She is probably not the daughter of that family and has been confused with Hannah (Pease) Geer who married Shubael Geer 1737 in Enfield, Connecticut. There is a Massachusetts Will for Ebenezer that lists Hannah Geer, not Susannah / Hannah Cooley.^[16]

The FamilySearch Person: K2X3-CQ7 states Susannah was born May 2 1720, but no birth source is attached.
