About Hannah Crowfoot


Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Merrick-364

Hannah Merrick, the daughter of Thomas Merrick and Sarah Stebbins, was born February 10, 1650. She married Benjamin Knowlton.[1]

After Benjamin's death in 1690, 53 year old Hannah married as her second husband, 30 year old Mathew Crowfoot. They had no children.

When Mathew passed away in 1718 he left a will dated Jul 16, 1718 in which Hannah is named his executor. Mathew instructed that Hannah receive his house and land to use for her natural life after which it was to go to Mathew Crowfoot the son of James Crowfoot of Danbury, Connecticut.

It is not known when Hannah passed away but it is obviously after July 16, 1718 in Springfield. The claim made in a Find A Grave memorial (with no photo of any gravestone inscription) that she died in 1716 in Charlestown, MA. is false. That error has been brought to the attention of the profile manager and been corrected.
