1651 - 1706  (54 years)

• Name	Susanna BELDING  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  Birth	05 Nov 1651	Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut, USA   [1, 3, 5]
  Gender	Female
  Death	1706	Stamford, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA   [1, 5]
  Notes	[Slosson 11-20-00 Greene.FTW] No actual marriage records seem to exist, although there is no questions that her given name was Susanna, there has never previiously been an effort to establish her maiden name as Belding. With direct proof lacking, this conclusion has beeen reached by certain other corroborating data, which is explained more fully under the note for her son, Nathaniel. It would appear from the evidence available that she came to Bedford as a married woman, and that she was a widow at the time of her marriage to Eleazer Slason. No record has been found covering any previous marriage, and the compiler, although morally convinced the statement is correct, does not submit it as a fact. William and Thomasine Belding were among the early and prominent settlers of Deerfield, MA, although the town was not settled until after Susanna Belding was born. There is also no doubt that the Belding family of Deerfield and the Belden family of Norwalk were one and the same family. The Deerfield records usually used the Belding spelling, and these records make frequent references to the individuals of the family who moved to Norwalk. The Norwalk records rarely spell the name other than Belden, although the Belding spelling is known. Whenever the name enters the records of Stamford there seems to be an unsettled quality to the matter, and both spellings are used on occaision, apparently indiscriminately. The Deerfield records show Susanna's birth date and connection to the family, and trace the relationships mentioned in the note for son, Nathaniel.
