Biography

Hannah was born in 1686. She passed away in 1761.

In 1729, Hannah's second husband James Pettyjohn filed an accounting for the estate of Hannah's first husband George West.

Her husband's will, signed 1748 and proved 1752, names his beloved wife Hannah as one of his heirs and as Executrix of his will.
