    "25—Hannah Selden (Joseph), b. 1686, Deerfield, Mass., died March 17, 1742, aged 56 years. She received her share of her father's estate from her brothers Joseph and Samuel. She married (1) at East Haddam, February 2, 1715, Daniel, son of Daniel and Susanna (Ventres) Brainerd; he died September 8 or 28, 1728, aged 38 years; she married (2) December 8, 1730, Jonathan, son of Robert Chapman; he died August 28,1742, at East Haddam."

    If she was the mother of all the children of both Daniel Brainerd and Jonathan Chapman, she could not have been born much earlier than 1694 since the youngest Chapman child was born in 1739.

  3. 3.0 3.1 Hannah Selden Brainerd, in Find A Grave.

    The statement that she died in 1742, aged 56 probably came from a no-longer readable gravestone and was either a misstatement in the inscription or a misreading by the transcriber. Many early gravestones in Connecticut cemeteries are totally illegible and many were apparently in poor condition even when the Hale Collection was created in the 1930s. Available listings, not checked against the originals in the Connecticut State Library, do not place her gravestone either in the Second Cemetery with her first husband or in the Old Cove cemetery with her second husband.
