1953Susanna Keene is the daughter of 3906Thomas Keene1 and 3907Mary ___.2

She married 1952John Garner sometime between 10 October 1659 and 2 January 1662/3. For more information on their marriage, their lives together, etc., see his profile since that information won't be repeated here. (Briefly, though, I'll mention that the couple lived in Northumberland County, Virginia, then moved to Westmoreland County in the early 1670's or thereabouts.)

1952John died by 1 January 1703/4,3 and 1953Susanna was a widow for ~12 years. She must have died by 28 March 1716, when a Westmoreland County court ordered an inventory of her estate be taken. The inventory lists various furniture, casks, a copper pot and kettle, various kitchen items, animals (cattle, geese, horse, sheep, a beehive), a feather bed, an old sword and a case of pistols, and other items.4
