Identification of the Second Wife of the First Edward Hazen

"Although the maiden name of Mrs. Hannah Hazen does not appear in her marriage record, in accordance with the practice of the town clerk for that year, nevertheless her family history is known from an affidavit filed in the Essex County Probate Court in the settlement of the estate of her brother John Grant, who died at Rowley, 18 Mar. 1696/7: 'I Sam^ll Stickney S^r of Bradford do testifie and say That I came over from England to New England in the same ship w^th Thomas Grant and Jane Grant his Wife, who brought over w^th them Foure Children, by name John, Hannah, Frances and Ann, whome I was well acquainted with, and next or near neighbours unto in Rowley. And y^e said John being deceased, I do affirm that the sisters of John Grant above named, now by marriage knowne by y^e names of Hannah Browne, Frances Keyes, and Ann Emerson, are y^e same y^t came over w^th their Father and Mother, and by them owned w^th said John for their children.' Sworn to 20 July 1698. [Essex Inst. Hist. Coll., 21:99.]"^[1]
