Biography

Susannah Stevenson

Susanna's identity is another sticky point in the early history of this Field family. In the marriage record, Torrey calls her Susannah Stevenson. In NYGBR 48:78, Eduardo Haviland Hillman suggested that she was a daughter of Thomas1 Stevenson, based upon the fact that Robert3 Field calls Daniel3 Stevenson (Thomas2, Thomas1) his "cousin" -- a term used in those days for many varieties of near relative. Also, Deborah3 (Whitehead) Hicks, in her will, called Robert3 Field and his wife Phebe her "dear cousins." But there is no Susannah among the known daughters of either Thomas or Edward Stevenson. Furthermore, Thomas2 Stevenson (Daniel3's father) was married to Ann Field, daughter of Robert and Susannah; and Deborah3 (Whitehead) Hicks' brother Jonathan Whitehead was married to Sarah Field, another daughter of Robert and Susannah -- quite enough relationship to merit the term "cousin".^[1]

Unable to find a Susannah as daughter of Thomas(1) Stevenson. A number of secondary sources suggest that this is so, however they appear to be copies of one-another. No good source material found.

Robert(2) Field's generation corresponds more toward Thomas(1)'s generation. While there is evidence that the men knew one-another, did business together, no intermarriage of their families was found. Edward Stevenson does not appear to have had a daughter Susannah either.

The following Thomas(2) is too young to have a dau. Susannah who married Robert(2) Field. There was a close relationship between the Fields and Stevensons. In fact, his dau. Susannah was Robert(2)'s granddaughter. It is presented to show the relationships between the families.

"Thomas Stevenson(2) (Thomas(1)) seems to have been the second son, and was probably born about 1648. By the death of his elder brother, John, he came into possession of part of the paternal homestead. In the tax-list of Newtown for 1683 he was assessed for forty acres of land, one horse, one one-year-old, and one two-year-old colt, four oxen, eight cows, five two-year-old, and four four-year-old calves, twenty sheep and seven swine. In February, 1672, Thomas Stevenson married Elizabeth, only daughter of Capt. William Lawrence, by his first wife,"

"Thomas Stevenson' died at Newtown, Long Island, 6 day, 2 mo., 1725.

His children were:

By his first wife, Elizabeth Lawrence : VI. Thomas. VII. William. VIII. John. IX. Elizabeth, who died unmarried, 27 day, 9 mo., 1703.

By his second wife, Ann Field, [Ann was daughter of Robert(2) and Susannah (The will of Robert(3) Field, of Flushing, Long Island, indicates that she was one of that family.)] : X. Nathaniel. XI. Daniel.( executor of Robert(3) Field's estate,who died 1734, named in will) XII. Stephen. XIII. Susannah,[Far, Far too young, and she was Robert(2)'s granddaughter] XIV. Ann.

Four of these sons removed to New Jersey, but neither of the daughters left their native place."

Notes

Note N4547On 9 July 1701 widow Susanna was present in Newtown on the occasion of the marriage of her son Nathaniel. Soon afterwards she removed to Chesterfield, Burlington County, NJ, where the lived with her daughter Susanna Marriott until her own death 25 May 1702. The clerk of Burlington Meeting, who recorded the death, knew that the deceased was mother of the wife of Isaac Marriott, but he wrongly supposed that the said wife was Joyce and he so recorded it. Joyce was, however, Isaac Marriott's first wife, dead since 18 September 1695.

On 1 July 1702 Susannah Marriott signed administration bond in the estate of Susanna Feild, late of Long Island, but now of Chesterfield, and an inventory of the same date taken by Henry Gribb, Christo[pher] Wetherill and Samuel Firnis, presented on 31 July 1702, came to ?105/15, including a Bible and four silver spoons. Quietus was given to Isaac Marriott on 4 July 1705, who then presented his account of the estate. This account shows distribution to Ambrose Feild ?41-8, Jemima Feild ?6-0, Nathaniel Feld ?2-2, John & Daniel Stevenson ?8-0, "to my wife," i.e. Susanna (Field) Marriott ?38-8, and for funeral expenses and administration costs. This appears not to be a distribution of net estate to heirs in equal shares, but rather a distribution to creditors, who were also heirs, and does not include all Susannah (___) Field's heirs, not even those living in Burlington County.

Susanna's identity is another sticky point in the early history of this family. In the marriage record, Torrey calls her Susannah Stevenson. In NYGBR 48:78, Eduardo Haviland Hillman suggested that she was a daughter of Thomas1 Stevenson, based upon the fact that Robert3 Field calls Daniel3 Stevenson (Thomas2, Thomas1) his "cousin" -- a term used in those days for many varieties of near relative. Also, Deborah3 (Whitehead) Hicks, in her will, called Robert3 Field and his wife Phebe her "dear cousins."

But there is no Susannah among the known daughters of either Thomas or Edward Stevenson. Furthermore, Thomas2 Stevenson (Daniel3's father) was married to Ann Field, daughter of Robert and Susannah; and Deborah3 (Whitehead) Hicks' brother Jonathan Whitehead was married to Sarah Field, another daughter of Robert and Susannah -- quite enough relationship to merit the term "cousin".
