----:Note: past theories have included the theory that she was [[Fuller-2700|Anna (Ann or En) Fuller]], sister of [[Fuller-11|Samuel Fuller]] who was married to a [[White-12582|William White]] in Leiden. This has been proven to be incorrect. Do not merge or mix up these families.

== Biography ==
=== Name and Origins ===:'''Name:''' Susanna Jackson, daughter of Richard and Mary (Pettinger) Jackson.
:One of the interesting and much debated problems in genealogy has been the parentage of ''Mayflower'' passenger Susanna Jackson, wife successively of ''Mayflower'' passengers William White and Gov. Edward Winslow. It has now been shown that she is Susanna Jackson, daughter Richard Jackson and Mary Pettinger.
:The evidence for Richard Jackson being her father is circumstantial, but taken as a whole is very compelling.The original publishing of the Winslow/Jackson letter was "Winslow letter 1623" New England Historical and Genealogical Register 109:242. [https://www.americanancestors.org/DB202/i/11601/242/241408537 Link at AmericanAncestors ($)]#The primary clue is the letter Edward Winslow sent to his Uncle Robert Jackson which allowed the identification of the correct family group. Though this letter has been in print since 1955, the exact relationships (Susanna's parents) remained unknown. If Robert Jackson was Susanna's uncle, then who could be her actual father?#Correspondence between Robert Jackson and his brother Richard Jackson showed how many sons and daughters Richard had. This matched what was known about Susanna's siblings from other correspondence.#Extensive connections of Richard Jackson to other Pilgrims. He was an associate of William Brewster in Scrooby, and was named as a a fellow Brownist (follower of Robert Brown) on the arrest of [[Brewster-4|William Brewster]]. He was then among those who removed from Scrooby to Holland. He had connections to the Rev. Ezeikiel Culverwell, a Puritan minister in London. He was married to Mary Pettinger whose relatives also appear among the separatists in Leiden.#The other siblings of Robert Jackson can all be excluded as a possible parent of Susanna.#This leads to the obvious conclusion that Richard Jackson is the father of Susanna Jackson.

=== Birth ===Susanna Jackson, was born about 1594, based on her estimated marriage about 1614. Her father Richard Jackson taught school in Tickhill, Yorkshire in 1590. He and Mary Pettinger were married in Doncaster, Yorkshire in 1591. Richard and Anne were in Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, England by 1598 and their children were possibly born there.

=== Marriages and Mayflower ===Susanna married first William White about 1614 (estimate based on birth of first child).
William and Susanna White traveled on the Mayflower with their son Resolved. Their second son, Peregrine, the first child born to the Pilgrims in New England, was born while the Mayflower was offshore (before disembarking). William White died the first winter.Bradford's History Bradford, William. ''History of Plymouth Plantation'' (Massachusetts Historical Society, 1856) [https://play.google.com/books/reader?id=tYecOAN1cwwC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_atb_hover&pg=GBS.PA448 pp 448], "Mr. William White, and Susana, his wife, and one sone, caled Resolved, and one borne a ship-bord, caled Peregriene; & 2, servants, named William Holbeck & Edward Thomson. [https://play.google.com/books/reader?id=tYecOAN1cwwC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_atb_hover&pg=GBS.PA452 p. 452] "Mr. White and his 2, servants dyed soone after ther landing. His wife maried with Mr. Winslow (as is before noted). His 2 sons are maried, and Resolved hath 5. children, Perigrine tow, all living. So their increase are 7."

Susanna married second Edward Winslow, 12 May 1621, at Plymouth (the first marriage at Plymouth).Bradford: History of Plymouth: [https://play.google.com/books/reader?id=tYecOAN1cwwC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_atb_hover&pg=GBS.PA101 p. 101]Prince, Thomas. ''[[Space:A Chronological History of New England|A Chronological History of New England]]'' (Antiquarian Bookstore, 1852) [https://archive.org/details/achronologicalh01pringoog/page/n236/mode/2up p. 190] They had 5 children, although only 2 lived to adulthood.

=== Plymouth ===In 1623, when land was allotted to each passenger on the Mayflower, Susanna's acre was received as part of her husband's four acre allotment. The Winslows, Edward, Susanna, Edward, John, and the White children Resolved and Perigrine, were part of the third lot, in the 1627 cattle division, receiving as their share a red cow "wch belongeth to the poore of the Colonye", her calf and some she goats.Pulsifer, David. New Plymouth Colony; ''[[Space:Records of the colony of New Plymouth, in New England|Records of the colony of New Plymouth, in New England]]'' Vol. 12 (1861) Deeds, &c. Vol. 1 1620-1651 & Book of Indian Records for their lands (Boston: Press of William White, 1861) [https://play.google.com/books/reader?id=zkEOAAAAIAAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_atb_hover&pg=GBS.PA4 p. 4], [https://play.google.com/books/reader?id=zkEOAAAAIAAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_atb_hover&pg=GBS.PA10 p. 10]"The 1623 land division" The Mayflower Quarterly. Plymouth, MA: General Society of Mayflower Descendants, 1935-1985. 40:12 (1974) [https://www.americanancestors.org/DB2760/i/58398/12/1427253674 Link at AmericanAncestors ($)]
As the original nucleus colony grew in size, Edward was granted land in Marshfield and the family moved there.
Edward Winslow was " ... one of the most energetic and trusted men in the Colony. He went to England in 1623, 1624, 1635 and 1646, as agent of the Plymouth or Massachusetts colonies; and in 1633 he was chosen governor, to which office he was reelected in 1636 and 1644. He did not return to New England after 1646. In 1655 he was sent by Cromwell as one of three commissioners to superintend the expedition against the Spanish possessions in the West Indies, and died at sea near Hispaniola, on the 8th of May of that year ..." (Alexander Young, "Chronicles of the Pilgrim Fathers," Boston, Charles C. Little and James Brown, 1841), [https://play.google.com/books/reader?id=-d610vUcjL0C&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_atb_hover&pg=GBS.PA274 p. 274-5.] There is no evidence that Susanna White Winslow ever accompanied her husband Edward Winslow on his journeys out of Plymouth Colony.

=== Death ===Susanna (Jackson) (White) Winslow died after 18 Dec 1654, the date of her husband's will, which gave their son Josias the bulk of his estate, but Josias was to allow Winslow's wife "a full third parte thereof for her life""Governor Edward Winslow's Will. The Mayflower Descendant [https://archive.org/details/mayflowerdescendv4mass/page/n23/mode/2up Vol 4 p. 2.] (1902) Son Josiah wrote his will 2 July 1675 and did not mention his mother,Bowman, George Ernest.

=== Common Errors to Avoid ===:'''While many believe that her maiden name was FULLER and that she was daughter of [[Fuller-12|Robert Fuller]] and [[Dunkhorn-1|Sarah Dunkhorn]] Ancestry of Susanna aka Anna (Fuller) White wife of (Pilgrim) William White [http://www.genealogy.com/forum/general/topics/pilgrims/444/ By James R Hancock March 03, 2003] Source: Google digitized: Full Text of '' Ancestral chronological record of the William White family from 1607 to 1608-1895 '' [https://archive.org/stream/ancestralchrono00whitgoog/ancestralchrono00whitgoog_djvu.txt includes parts from William White's "Breeches Bible'']* same but easier to read: Ancestral Chronological Record of the William White Family , from 1607-8 to 1895. [http://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/white/20226/ William White of the Mayflower By Aaron White March 10, 2004 at 09:56:25] , this has been disproven'''; ''see'':
# http://mayflowerhistory.com/white-william/# Mayflower Five Generations for the White Family (Vol1) (Silver Book), p. 96, which gives a strong argument why she was not a relative of the Fullers on the Mayflower. The book also gives a hint to a possible different identity for her.
:While a William White, wool comber, married [[Fuller-2700|Ann Fuller]] at Leiden on February 11, 1612,(see profile [[Fuller-2700|Anna Fuller]] for the record) it's assumed this William White was still in Leiden the year ''after'' the Mayflower landed at Plymouth{{citation needed}} Therefore, William White of Leiden could not have been William White of the Mayflower and Ann Fuller could not have been Susannah who later married Edward Winslow.See G2G thread associated with this profile for a discussion of the sources.See Joe Cochoit's [[Space:Cochoit_Working|The Case Against Susannah Fuller]]
