There are Malden births of Samuel and Thomas Tingley, in the right time frame, children of Samuel Tingle and wife Elizabeth (supposedly Call).
By 1644 Hannah had married James Barrett, since their first known child was born April 6, 1644 at Charlestown. The will of Hannah's father, dated February 23, 1663/4, mentions "my daughter Hannah the wife of James Barratt." Also mentioned are his Barratt grandchildren: James, Steven.[1]

Research Notes

Regarding Palmer Tingley of Ipswich, Massachusetts, Tingley says, "No record can be found of his...marriage. He is claimed as the husband of Anna Fosdick, because he is the only person of the name of Tingle living in the Colonies at that time of suitable age to be her husband."[6]R. C. Anderson in "Great Migration" says of this record: "While there is no evidence to disprove this statement, neither is there sufficient evidence to accept it, especially given the propensity of this author for inventing genealogical connections." Anderson says there is no marriage, nor any children recorded for Palmer Tingley.[4]Anderson goes on to say that Hannah Fosdick's marriage to Palmer Tingley "may be so, but her husband may just as well have been some other totally unrecorded man of that surname."[1]
