From the Bartlett Society

On 3 Mar 1714/5 Hannah Bartlet, widow was appointed administrator of the estate of Elnathan Bartlett of Plymouth. On 12 May 1727 Mr. Benjamin Rider of Plymouth was appointed guardian of Elnathan Bartlett (under 21) and Hannah Bartlett (under 14) children of Elnathan Bartlett, late of Plymouth. On 6 July 1719 Rice Nichols of Hingham, tailor, and wife Hannah, conveyed to Jeremiah Stodder land that belonged to father John Mansfield. No probate records for Hannah Nicholas were found in Plymouth County.

Gardner Asaph Churchill and Nathaniel Wiley Churchill in their book The Churchill Family in America, (1904) state that John Churchill, widower of Rebecca Delano, and son of John & Hannah (Pontus) Churchill, married secondly about 1715, Hannah Mansfield, widow of Elnathan Bartlett. However, Robert S. Wakefield, FASG in his book Mayflower Families in Progress - Robert Bartlett of the "Anne" (1995) says that Hannah married secondly Rice Nichols of Hingham in Plymouth 16 Jun 1719. This is confirmed in Mayflower Desc. (14:38 Plymouth Vital Records - Marriage) and by Suffolk Co. Land Records (42:117) when Rice Nichols of Hingham and his wife Hannah, conveyed to Jeremiah Stodder land that belonged to [her] father John Mansfield. I find no record supporting a marriage between John Churchill and Hannah Mansfield.
