Josiah Willard m. Hannah Wilder, d/o John Wilder, and granddaughter of Thomas Wilder.
[Note: comment about "Hannah Clark" applies to a different Josiah Willard.]
- Nearly every source repeats the identification of Hannah as d/o John, grand d/o Thomas. Perhaps because it seems definite, but in reality, attempting to get any more precise is raising lots of questions. Source:Wilder, Moses Hale. Book of the Wilders : A Contribution to the History of the Wilders from 1497, in England, to the Emigration of Martha, a Widow, shows John Wilder having a daughter Hannah, b. 1679, and a daughter Anna, b. 1690, i.e., two distinct persons of apparently overlapping lifetimes despite the usual interchangeability of their names. Since "Josiah and Hannah" had, according to Lunenburg records, children born from early 1716 to 1735, not to mention Josiah's own birth about 1693, it seems pretty clear that it was "Anna" b. 1690 (using the Book of Wilders name) who married Josiah. This is the arrangement shown by the Book of Wilders.
