• Find a Grave: Hannah Ayer

Evidence needed to support as sister of John Bishop Evered

---

1. John
2. Nathaniel
3. Hannah (married Stephen Webster)
4. Rebecca
5. Mary
6. Obadiah
7. Robert
8. Thomas

From Miner Descent

Hannah Evered (alias Webb) was born 2 Sep 1582 in Salisbury, Wiltshire, England. Sometimes she is called Hannah Webb. Her parents were John EVERED and Mary WEBB. Hannah died 8 Oct 1688 in Haverhill, Essex, Mass.

Hannah is said to be a sister of John Evered alias Webb (wiki) of Marlborough, Wiltshire, England, and later of Boston, Chelmsford, and Darcut, Massachusetts. In his will of February 10, 1666 he named his wife Mary and six of the children of John Ayer, calling them his niece Rebecca, wife of John Arsleby of Andover, and her brothers, John, Robert, Thomas, Peter and Nathaniel Ayres of Haverhill.   Doubt has been cast on this relationship by the fact that John Evered alias Webb did not name a sister Hannah in his will.  John Evered alias Webb did mention his cousins as the children of John Ayer: and not as the children of his sister Hannah. It’s most logical to think John Evered alias Webb knew what he was doing and not try to second guess him.

Hannah is said to be a sister of John Evered alias Webb. This is deducted from his will dated 10 February 1665-1666, in which he named his wife Mary and six of the children of John Ayer, calling them his niece Rebecca, wife of John Arsleby of Andover, and her brothers, John, Robert, Thomas, Peter and Nathaniel Ayres of Haverhill. This indicates some kind of relationship between the John Evered Alias Webb and the Ayer family, but doubt has been cast on Hannah being a close relation of John by the fact that John Evered alias Webb did not name a sister Hannah in his will.

Much research and hypothesis has been done on the wife of John Ayers. The best study is located at http://www.themorrisclan.com/GENEALOGY/AYER%20John%20F15036.html. Based on all of this data, it is clear that Hannah was born Evered, but assumed an alias of Webb for some reason.
