• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY: The area which became the town of Concord was originally known as "Musketaquid", situated at the confluence of the Sudbury and Assabet rivers. The area was largely depopulated by the smallpox plague that swept across the Americas after the arrival of Europeans. In 1635, a group of settlers from Britain led by Rev . Peter Bulkley and Major Simon Willard negotiated a land purchase with the remnants of the local tribe. They exchanged wampum, hatchets, knives, cloth, and other useful items for the six-square-mile purchase which formed the basis of the new town, called "Concord" in appreciation of the peaceful acquisition. William, Hannah's father, was an early settler of Concord. Hannah was born in Concord and her birth is listed in Concord vital records: Hunt, Hanna, d. William, 12: 12m: 1640 (probably February 12, 1640/41) She is the only child of William with a birth record in Concord. In William's will, eldest son Samuel is mentioned, along with sons Nehemiah and Isaac, and daughter Elizabeth Barns, in that order. Hannah is not mentioned and may have died young. I have seen on the internet her name pop up in association with the Plymouth Colony, but I could find absolutely no evidence to support that claim. Please correct me with you have actual evidence. Thanks! Hannah is mentioned in Robert Best's will dated 1654, so was alive at that time.
