Hannah's known children:

With Wait Deming:

- Jonathan Deming (1756–1836), born in Goshen, CT, buried in this cemetery.

- Note: Hannah also raised her stepdaughter Prudence Deming, born 1754 in Goshen, CT, to Wait and his first wife. Prudence was about 1 when Hannah married Wait.

With Elnathan Ashmun (often seen as Ashman): it's unknown whether he was married prior to Hannah.

- William Ashman (abt. 1769-?). A 1784 Goshen, Litchfield, CT, court record states that William, "about 15", son of Elnathan Ashman late of Goshen, chose Jonathan Deming [his step-brother] as his guardian. This was probably to oversee William's finances/inheritance if Hannah was a single mother at this time (In 1784 she was between her third and fourth husbands).

- Eben Ashman (I), born 1773, died 1773. Goshen, CT church record lists his father Lieut. Elnathan Ashman

- Eben Ashman (II), born 1774. Goshen, CT, church record lists his father Lieut. Elnathan Ashman. Did this second Eben survive, marry?

With Levi Crocker:

- Isaac Crocker (1781-1856). Buried Sacramento, CA. He was the father of railroad tycoons Charles Crocker and Edwin Bryant Crocker.

With Stephen Chatfield:

- no known children.
