- ↑ The coincidence of two sisters dying one day apart, at most, months apart in age, is not credible. Further, consider Source:Allred, Marilyn. Town of Warwick, Franklin County, Massachusetts, Genealogical Records 1739-1900, Births, Marriages,, p. 216, which has Hannah, d/o Benjamin Porter and Thankful Forrester, widow of --- Moore; and as a person with no parents identified, Caroline m. as 2nd wife Jonathan Moore. Inspection of various censuses from 1850 to 1860 do not show a Hannah Moore in Warwick, except for Hannah W Moore, the daughter of Caroline Moore with whom she is living. So it strongly appears, to the point of probability or more, that Caroline's death was misrecorded as Hannah, probably because it was reported by her daughter Hannah, and Hannah (Porter) Moore, for whom no birth or marriage record is known, is a fictitious person based on this error.
