Misc

Note: This Hannah Whitcomb often appears to have been a bit muddled with the other Hannah Whitcomb (28 Mar 1694 in Lancaster - d. 17 Nov 1743 Stow, MA) who was the daughter of Josiah & Mary Whitcomb, and who married Richard Whitney.

Not certain of source of birthdate (29 Aug 1691), but based on her age at death on headstone, Hannah was born c. 6 Dec. 1692.
