SUSANNAH BURR
THE STORY AS I KNOW IT
Susannah Burr was born 1611 to 1614 in Westminster,
London, in St. Margaret's Parish. St. Margaret is
the parish church just next to Westminster Cathedral, and
worthy of a visit. Her father was Richard Burr.
There is one hint that her mother may have been
Elizabeth Montague. I can find her birth
recorded and her baptism was Sept. 25, 1592 at St. Giles
Cripplegate, London. England Select Births and
Christenings 1538-1975, FHL film# 380199.
But I cannot find a marriage record to Richard
Burr. .
Susannah married Cuthbert Harrison 1632 in
St. Margaret's Parish. They had 7 children all
christened within the parish. Cuthbert may
have been born in Yorkshire and I do not know what
took him to London or what he did during his years
there. St. Margaret's records are now on line.I
could find Alexander and Sarah, but could not find
the other dates in the online source. https://archive.org/stream/memorialsofstmar00westrich
the Christenings are find on pages 156,191, 205 and 222.
Their children were:
1. Francis Harrison born c1633
2. Richard Harrison born c1636
3. Burr Harrison born Dec. 28, 1637 wed Sarah
Frances Burdette and emigrated to America. the online
record said his christening took place Jan.
3,1637/38
4. Joseph Harrison born c1639
5. Alexander Harrison born Oct. 23,
1644 found in LDS records GS film 908519 from England
Births and christenings 1538-1975.online same date but
christening.
6. Thomas Harrison born 1646 the online
record said the christening took place Oct. 20, 1647
7. Sarah Harrison born 1648 the online
record said her christening took place Feb. 26, 1652.
While Alexander and Sarah were the only records
found online, the others all fit. Now to find where
the other data came from.
Susannah Burr Harrison lived to see all her
children grown. She died about 1668 in St.
Margaret's Parish. Sometime thereafter Cuthbert
emigrated to America with at least one son, Burr
Harrison, and perhaps others. He died 1699 in
Virginia.
