Her first husband, Cornelius Dabney, was the interpreter and close companion of Chieftess Cockacoeske, leader of the Pamunkey Indians, and widow of Chief Totopotomoi, a grandson of one of the sisters of Chief Powhatan, the father of Pocahontas. The David Anderson family of Stafford Co., VA also had close ties with the family of John West of Stafford, said to be a son of Chieftess Cockacoeske. Some have theorized Susannah to be a granddaughter of the Chieftess, although this has not been proven.
