(VA Mag., Vol. 32, p. 58). === http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sjrily&id=I4593 From "A Moseley Genealogy", Thomas B. Moseley, Jr. 1985, beginning on page 13: "Susanna, daughter of Ralph Burnet, citizen and draper [cloth merchant] of London, who lived in the parish of St. Benet Fink, she was baptized there on 7t December, 1605. [St Benet Fink is sort of Northeast of Central London.] She married first, Arthur Blackmore and had by him an only child, a daughter named Susanna. Arthur Blackmore died between 01 May 1632 and 30 Apr 1633, and his widow married very soon after, certainly before 22 Dec 1634, William Moseley, also an English Merchant Adventurer, living in Delft. On the latter date, as husband of Susanna, he was sued by the widow of Cornelius Michielsz van Ring for the rent of a house in Delft, rented by her late husband Arthur Blackmore from 01 May 1632 to 30 Apr 1633, and judgment was entered for the plaintiff. William Moseley later removed to Rotterdam, where he was Steward (Schftmeister) of the English House on 13 Aug 1643." Another source (probably more reliably) cites her baptismal date as 7 Dec 1595.
