East Haddam Vital Records (NEHGS typescript), p. 16, shows "Barnes, … Han[n]ah, d. William, b. Oc. (?) 15, 1709 [LR1:8]". There is no further record of a daughter Hannah in this family. The most likely explanation is that the daughter Eunice was called Hannah at birth but that the name was later changed.
