Hi Charles - I found the following information about Samuel's wife Susannah.
Originally presumed to be Orcutt, but marriage record shows Susannah was a Bickley.
Parish records of the Holy Trinity Church for Sutton Coldfield; original records deposited at the county record office in Warwick.
"Samuel Edson and Susannah Bickley of the parish of Whittaker (Whitacre) were married in this church by virtue of a licence",
Whitacre is the parish located next to Fillongley.
Posted on the internet, Ancestry message board,by Joel Thomas Orcutt Feb. 2001.
In New England Families, Genealogical and Memorial pg 1923, she is described as follows: "She exhibited a majestic figure, rather above average height, an elegant and majestic mein, with a countenance happily combining graceful dignity and cheerful benignity"
Sincerely, Malinda
