Hannah Wheat, d/o Moses and Tamzen Wheat, m. 20 Oct 1675 Samuel Stratton. Will of "Moses wheat Senior in the town of Concord", dated 19 Sep 1691, names daughter Hannah Straton.
[Note: this source seems thrown by the town clerk's spelling of Hannath in the birth record, and so treats the Hannah (70-3) as the wife of Samuel, and Hannath (70-4) as a differently named child who died young. However, just above, on the same page of births, another family (Bateman) is given a daughter Hannath, and it appears to simply be a peculiar spelling liked by the town clerk. Thus, recognizing Hannath as the same name, it is clear the second one is the survivor who married. So, 70-4, "Hannath", is the one who married Samuel, and 70-3 died young.]
