Biography

Hannah was born in 1680. Hannah is the child of John Wadhams and Hannah Bidwell.

Hannah, together with her son Jonathan, was granted the administration of her late husband's estate on the 5th of January, 1731. Two of her sons, Benjamin and Ezra, chose guardians for themselves in 1733/4, which suggests she died between January 5, 1731 and early 1734. However children of that time period often chose a male guardian after the death of their father even when their mother was still alive.

Research Notes

She was clearly alive on January 5, 1731 when she and her son Jonathan were granted the administration of David's estate. Date of death is still uncertain but would seem to fall after January 5, 1731 and the time when her two younger sons chose guardians, probably between January 1, 1734 and March 23, 1734, in the period that would have been between the calendrical new year and the customary new year at the time around the spring equinox.
