  • Susannah Ingersoll (1783-1858), inherited what we now call The House of the Seven Gables from her parents, Captain Samuel and Susannah Hathorne Ingersoll, and remained there during her entire life.
  • She was able to make a comfortable living from her farm in nearby Danvers.
  • She never married, but did adopt a boy name Horace Connolly whom she doted on.
  • Nathaniel Hawthorne visited Susannah's home quite regularly, being her second cousin. Many think her stories about Salem and their family made their way into his later writings.
