The meaning of this is not clear, but Thomas Earl of Strafford was beheaded before the English Civil War are there are some records which seem to indicate that Susanna married Ruishe Wentworth of Sarre, Isle of Thanet, Kent (born c1659) and they had a daughter Mary Wentworth, born approx 1685 Sarre, Isle of Thanet.

An untidy pedigree makes it hard to be sure but Mary may have married Lord Effingham.
