From The Family of Bartholomew Stovall

(Eight Generations of Stovalls in England and America)
Of Susannah, wife first of Thomas Burton and then of John Steward, we know little. Apparently she inherited her father's legendary temper, for on 1 August 1685 she was compelled to appear in the County Court to apologize to one James Ekins (Jr.) for having called him a hog-stealer.[21] Her license to marry John Steward is not dated but was returned 20 November 1686 and recorded 1 December 1686;[22] the marriage will have taken place that year. On 1 December 1699 she renounced dower on 100 acres sold by John Steward to Michael Turpin;[23] that same day her husband, as guardian of her daughter Ann (Burton) Stovall, received an acknowledgment from Bartholomew Stovall that he had now received all her interest in her father's estate.[24] when her husband made a later conveyance in April 1701[25] the deed is so nearly illegible that it is impossible to say whether or not she was alive and a participant.
