"3. Ann or Hannah Harding, elder surviving daughter of John Harding by his first wife Mary, was born probably between 1611 and 1613. She probably became of age by St. Stephen’s Day [26 Dec.] 1634, on which day she was to get part of her inheritance from her father's will. By May 1635 she had married Thomas1 Buttolph, born ca. 1603, perhaps at Raynham, Norfolk, England, a glover. Tho: Buttolph aged 32 and wife Ann aged 24 came on the Abigail, Richard Hackwell, Master, in May 1635 [John Camden Hotten, Original Lists, p. 73; C. E. Banks, Planters of the Commonwealth, p.p. 161-167). Hannah Buttall is called sister in the will of Elizabeth Bridgham, widow of Henry, dated 2 Aug. 1672 [Supreme Judicial Court file 117-4], and Thomas Buttolph's will calls Henry Bridgham his brother. From these facts Mr. Bassette deduced his wrong opinion that Ann Buttolph was a sister of Henry Bridgham [op. cit., p. 133]. …[she] died at Boston on 10 Oct. 1680, and was buried at the Granary Burying Ground, gravestone giving the age as 8, probably an error for 68. She dated her will 17 Sept. 1680, probated 10 Nov. 1680."
