You state that you have done extensive search on the Conyers And have found John Conyers will in Durham wills archive in the university Apparently Susanne Conyers did not marry Ralph Dixon… Apparently in his will John Conyuers names his daughter as a Conyers not a Dixon You have had a Geneologist search this
You have located the baptism for the Susanna named in this will. She was baptised at Easington in 1631. Her elder sister, Frances, was baptised there in 1626.
You have also found the Conyers of Horson family tree pedigree in Robert Surtees’ 1816 History of Durham volume 1 (it’s on page 28) - Surtees was the authority on the history of Durham in his day and his confirms all the children of Sir John, including Susanna. He confirms her baptism as 6th November 1631 and states that she was unmarried when her father wrote his will.
This is conclusive proof (as was the fact Susanna was called Conyers in the will) that Susanna Dixon was not the daughter of Sir John Conyers.
As You said previously, Sir John’s will would prove this either way and it has.
It looks as though you are absolutely correct. I have deleted Susannah Conyers as a wife of George Dixon
