Susan Ring

Father: Mary Ring

Children include Andrew

Susan Ring was a daughter of Mary Ring, a widow who came to Plymouth about 1629 or 1630. Her sister Elizabeth married Stephen Deane, who built the first grist mill at Plymouth in 1633. Her brother Andrew was still a boy when their mother died. Their father was probably William Ring, a say-weaver of the Pilgrim congregation at Leiden, who turned back from the voyage of 1620 on the leaking Speedwell.

She married Thomas Clarke, who had come to Plymouth on the Anne in 1623. They were married by the summer of 1631, when her mother's will named her "my daughter Susan Clarke." From her mother she received "my bed I lay upon wth my gray Coverlet," the ticks of two pillows, a share of the clothes, and enough red wool to make a bearing cloth, the cloth in which a baby was carried to its christening. Her mother died in July 1631.

All Thomas Clarke's children were probably hers: Andrew, James, William, Susanna, Nathaniel and John. She died before 1664, when he married again in Boston.
