Susanna Bucklin's siblings and parental siblings must have been distressed with
Susanna's husband's wartime activities as a English commander and heroic English
spy.
- Susanna's brother John Bucklin was a Captain in the Revolutionary Army.
- Susanna's brother Benjamin Bucklin fought in the Revolutionary Army at the
battle of Bunker Hill.
- Susanna's uncle Capt. Joseph Bucklin was engaged in projects such as
fortifying Providence against the English.
- Her cousin (Capt. Joseph Bucklin's son, another Joseph Bucklin) had shot
the English captain of the Gaspee and had a 1000 pound reward on his head if
Susanna turned informer!
- Susanna's uncle Capt. John Bucklin was a captain of the Rehoboth militia,
fighting against the English.
- Susanna's aunt Sarah Waldo was married to Gen. Israel Putnam of the
Revolutionary Army.
- Susanna's uncle Albigence Waldo was the Surgeon General of the Revolutionary
Army at Valley Forge.
Poor Susanna! If her husband was successful in his job as a fighter and
spy for the English army, her siblings, cousins, and uncles might die. Back
to the main story about Susanna Bucklin and Solomon Johns
