Susanna White (Mayflower passenger)
Susanna (Jackson) White Winslow (-after 1654) was a passenger on the "Mayflower" and successively wife of fellow Mayflower passengers William White and Edward Winslow. Born Susanna Jackson, the daughter of Richard and Mary (Pettinger) Jackson, she went to Amsterdam and joined its separatist congregation about 1608, and there she married future Mayflower passenger William White. She was mother of one son, Resolved, when she boarded the Mayflower and was pregnant during its voyage, giving birth to Peregrine in late November 1620, while the ship was anchored at Cape Cod. Peregrine was the second baby born on  the "Mayflower"s voyage, and the first known English child born to the Pilgrims in America. Susanna was one of the four adult Pilgrim women who survived their first winter in the New World, along with Eleanor Billington, Elizabeth Hopkins, and Mary Brewster; these four, with young daughters and male and female servants, cooked the first Thanksgiving feast. Susanna was widowed February 21, 1621, and months later remarried to Pilgrim Edward Winslow on May 12, 1621, in Plymouth Colony. Edward's prior wife had died on March 24, 1621. The wedding of Edward Winslow and Susanna was the first in Plymouth  Colony.
