Person talk:Hannah Lewis (5)

Birth date? [8 June 2011]

What is known from vital records is that Jedediah m. Hannah Lewis in Barnstable in 1699 and had children in Truro from 1702 to 1718. Father's will in 1713 names his daughter Hannah Lumbard. From her gravestone in Old North Cemetery in Truro, we know Hannah d. 1743 in 67th year (birth calculates to about 1677). The vital records of Barnstable for James Lewis and Sarah Lane show daughter Sarah born early 1661, and son James born 1664 but nothing about a daughter named Hannah in 1662. The records for this family seem to stop after 1664 though there were more children. Don't know what her birth date is other than calculated from age at death, but doubt the date shown is correct. --Jrich 18:26, 8 June 2011 (EDT)
