Lincoln-1360 created 15 Nov 2011 | Last modified 28 Mar 2021

Hannah Lincoln was born on 13 or 15 March 1663 in Taunton, (then) Plymouth Colony, the daughter of Thomas[1] and Mary (Austin) Lincoln.

She married Peter Branch about 1682 probably in Taunton.[2] Peter Branch was among the petitioners for the establishment of a new town at Preston, Connecticut in 1686, and it is here that all of their children were born.[2]

Peter Branch of Preston, Connecticut sold land on 5 November 1696 in Taunton, Bristol, Province of Massachusetts Bay to Nicholas Moorey of Taunton. The land had been received by his wife Hannah as a gift from her father Thomas Lincoln, by deed of gift dated 04 May 1694 "given to Hannah my wife by her father Thomas Linkon dec'd". The wording of the deed makes it clear that Hannah was alive on 05 November 1696. The deed was acknowledged by Peter Branch at Taunton on 05 November 1699, and recorded on 14 January 1699/1700. [3]

Peter died in Preston on 27 December 1713. [2] Peter's estate settlement, dated 13 March 1714/5, named his children as Mary, age 28; Hannah, 27; Elizabeth, 23; John, 21; Peter, 19; Thomas, 16; Samuel, 14; Sarah, 10; and Joseph, 7.[2]

Hannah died in Preston on 16 January 1732.[2]

POWERS-BANKS ANCESTRY pg 167: from Taunton Deeds, 3, p 77: 4 January 1694, Peter Branch of Preston, Conn., sold land in Taunton “that belonged to my wife Hannah Lincoln, daughter of Thomas Lincoln, of Taunton, Mass.” (Bristol Co Deeds 3:79)Hannah’s father was the miller of Taunton, Massachusetts. Her grandfather, Thomas Lincoln, also the miller, came from Hingham, England, to Hingham, Massachusetts, about 1636, and his mill at Taunton, Massachusetts, was used as a place of meeting for the conference with King Philip before the war. DESC. OF PETER BRANCH said Hannah LINCOLN-- was the aunt of Abe Lincoln. After much research on Abe Lincoln's genealogy it appears much nore distant than that..
