Mrs Susanna

Susanna Dutch is my 1st cousin 8 generations removed. Her mother, Elizabeth Roper is my 9th great aunt. Elizabeth was the daughter of Walter Roper (1614 - 1680), my 10th great grandfather. Susanna was born on 13 July 1675 in Ipswich, and she married Joseph Kinsman (1673 - 1741) as his first wife. Joseph is my 1st cousin 9 generations removed, too. His parents were Robert Kinsman and Mary Boreman, and his grandfather, Robert Kinsman (1693- 1664) is my 9th great grandfather.
My Ipswich roots are very tangled! I seem to be related to everyone, and related several ways, too!

What a beautiful headstone! Is it original?
ReplyDeleteYes, that is the original 1734 gravestone. It's in great shape. Not all of the stones nearby were in such nice condition.
