About Hannah Newton

Hannah/Hanna/Hana was born to JOHN SMITH, SR. and JAEL PARKER/PACKARD in nearby Taunton, Massachusetts, on March 22, 1678.(9) Jael Packard/Parker was John Smith’s second wife, so Hannah was one of the younger children born into a blended family.

source Massachusetts Vital Records to 1850 for Taunton (Online database: AmericanAncestors.org, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2001-2010.)


Depending upon the source, up to three wives are listed:

Jane Washburn (1666-1698)
Hanna Smith (1678 - 1751)
Hanna Newton (1673-1719)

Sometimes David Orcutt (1708 - 1790) is listed as the son of Hannah Smith and sometimes as the son of Hannah Newton.

Did William 2 Orcutt have a 3rd wife, Hannah Newton?

A record in Marlborough, Massachusetts, about 50 miles from Bridgewater, shows a William Orcut marrying Hannah Newton on April 10, 1706.(3) The Solomon Leonard Memorial (17) states that HANNAH NEWTON, born December 20, 1673, married William Orcutt of Bridgewater on April 10, 1706. She was the daughter of MOSES NEWTON and JOANNA LARKIN of Marlborough.

Was the marriage to Hannah Newton the third marriage for our William, or were there others with the name of William Orcutt in the area? No record has been found showing the death or divorce of Hannah Smith Orcutt. The Bridgewater death record–as well as the tombstone–for Hannah Orcutt, widow of William, shows a date of death of October 7, 1751, with death occurring at age 72.(18) This perfectly matches the age of Hannah Smith. Hannah Newton would have been 77 years old. Determining whether there was one Hannah or two is an all-important question for the descendants of William and Hannah, and more research is required here.
