Notes:
Descendants of John Gedney of Salem, Massachusetts
By Donald R. White
On March 15, 1677/78 John Gedney conveyed for love, to his son Bartholomew Gedney and Hannah his wife, also to daughter-in-law Susanna Gedney, widow of John Gedney, all "my farm in Salem by Cedar Pond, formerly granted to Mr. William Clarke deceased, together with 60 acres also granted to William Clarke and afterward confirmed to me the sd John Gedney," to be equally divided between Bartholomew and Susannah Gedney (Essex Co. Deeds, 5:4)
Since Gedney's wife Katherine was not a party to this deed disposing of the property of her first husband, it is presumed that she had already died: and there is every indication that these two daughters, Hannah (Clarke) Gedney and Susannah (Clarke) Gedney, were her only children living at the time.
