MYTH - Hannah Purrier is the spouse of John Roe.

http://longislandgenealogy.com/SurnameMyths.html

Where was it proven that John Roe's wife was Hannah Purrier?? It seems that a large part of Torrey's work proved his wife WAS NOT Hannah Purrier. In all papers and documents he refers to his wife as Elizabeth, Alice and finally a Sarah -- not Hannah. Yet I still see it posted in Brookhaven records and elsewher that his wife was Hannah. What proof exists?? Until proof surfaces this will remain listed as one of the Long Island Surname Myths.

Supposedly Hannah is the daughter of Capt. William Purrier 1599-1675 of Southold but his will shows he did not have a daughter named Hannah. Both the hisotircal society and Brookhaven refer to his wife as Hannah but Torrey's research proves his wifes as being Alice, Sarah and Elizabeth.
