Susannah Kidder Everard, Lady Everard was a British aristocrat, heriess, and society hostess. Her husband served as the Governor of the Province of North Carolina from 1725 to 1731.
Biography
Lady Everard was born Susannah Kidder in 1683 in Essex to The Rt. Rev. Richard Kidder, who served as the Bishop of Bath and Wells, and Lady Elizabeth Jane Kidder. Her father died in during the Great storm of 1703 after being struck by a falling chimney at the Bishop's Palace.
She married the aristocrat Sir Richard Everard, 4th Baronet, who served as the governor of the Province of North Carolina from 1725 to 1731. They had four children:
- Sir Richard Everard (d. 7 March 1742), succeeded his father to the Everard baronetcy, but died unmarried.
- Sir Hugh Everard (d. 1745), succeeded his elder brother to the baronetcy, but also died without issue at which point the baronetcy became extinct.
- Anne Everard, married George Lathbury, about whom nothing more is known.
- Susannah Everard, married David Meade of Nansemond County, Virginia. One of her children was Richard Kidder Meade, aide-de-camp to George Washington.
During her husband's term as governor, the family resided in Edenton, North Carolina. They were unpopular with the local gentry. Her husband was removed from the Carolinian governorship in 1731, following the sale of the province from the Lords Proprietor back to the British Crown, and they moved to Nansemond County, Virginia before returning to London.
She died in 1739 in Much Waltham, Essex.
