4. ↑ Hannah Brooks was last known to be alive on 1 Sep 1761. On 17 Feb 1763 Hugh Wallis was an appraised of Christopher Bellican's estate but by 12 Sep 1764 he was no longer an appraiser and on 30 Mar 1765 he was said to have intermarried with Hannah Bellican. From this it seems reasonable to conclude that Hannah Brooks had died between 1762 and 1764.
