Which Hannah Holly married Joseph Bishop?

Stamford Vital Records [NEHGS]:18.

Bishop, Joseph, m. Hannah Holly, Feb. 21, 1722/3, by Rev. John Davenport [1:54].
Bishop, Joseph, m. Hanah Holly, Feb. 21, 1722/3, by Rev John Davenport [1:151].

Stamford Vital Records [NEHGS]:17.

Bishop, Hannah, w. Joseph, d. Dec. 3, 1745 [1:54].

There were two women in Stamford named Hannah Holly who could have been Joseph Bishop's wife:

Stamford Vital Records [NEHGS]:73.

Hannah, d. John & Hannah [Newman], b. Nov. 20, 1694 [1:54].
Han[n]a[h], [twin with Joseph], d. Jo[hn], Jr., ship [____], b. Nov. 18, 1702 [1:123]. This John was son of Samuel and Mary [Close] Holly and had married Mary Cressy. The two Hannahs, therefore, were first cousins once removed.

The only clue in the literature is that Spencer Mead, in his history of Greenwich, p. 561, has the elder Hannah (born 1694) dying in 1745, but does not identify her husband. On this slim evidence, she is assigned as Joseph Bishop's wife, but it should be considered that this marriage is not proven without further evidence.
