- Some time after her husband’s death in about 1720, Susanna moved , with a portion of her family to that part of Prince George’s County, Maryland, that later became Frederick County. The time of her move is unknown, but probably occured in about 1732, when the Land Records of Prince George’s County show that she purchased 1,000 acres from Daniel Dulaney on 17 July 1732. About a year later, on 21 May 1733, she purchased from John Stoddart an additional 939 acres on the west bank of the Monocacy River.
Records show that she transferred farms to three of her sons: William, Thomas and Edward. Her will is dated 20 June 1742 and was proved 30 October 1745. It mentions all of the children in her husband’s will, except for Charles, who died earlier at Marbletown, and Henry (the presumption is that he predeceased her as well).
Text of the Will of Susanna Asfordby Beatty:
