Mrs Susanna
Kinsman

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!

    1. Yes, that is the original 1734 gravestone. It's in great shape. Not all of the stones nearby were in such nice condition.
