Susanna, daughter of Samuell Preston, was born on 30 March 1677 in Andover, Essex, Massachusetts, United States.[1]

Susannah's son Holt was born on 20 March 1705 in Andover, Essex, Massachusetts, United States.[2]

Susannah's son James Holt was born in 1707 in Andover, Essex, Massachusetts, United States.[3]

At the time of his mother's marriage to Nicholas Holt, Samuel Preston was sixteen years of age. Six years later, May 27, 1672, he married at Andover, Susannah Gutterson, the daughter of John Gutterson, whose name appears on the early tax-list of the town. Samuel Preston took up his abode in that part of Andover still known as Preston Plain, near the present town of Ballardvale.

Susannah, the wife of Samuel, died December 29, 1710. Three years later her widower married John Blodgett's widow, Mary. Samuel survived his first wife Susannah by a quarter of a century or more. He died at Andover July 10, 1738.

The profile of Susanna Nuss (Nurse) who married (int. 11 January 1734/35) James Holt, son of Timothy and Rhoda (Chandler) Holt, is probably correct that it was she who d. 20 February 1741/42. Indeed, the record of her death calls her the wife of James, Jr. (no doubt to distinguish him from the older man). Note also that she is not mentioned in the probate file of James, Sr. (1732).
