Mistaken Identity

This woman has been confused with her first cousin Hannah Bradish, who married Edward Marrett. In his History of Cambridge, Massachusetts, Lucius Page asserted that Hannah Bradish married Joseph Stanhope as her first husband and married Edward Marrett after Stanhope's death.[1] Torrey's New England Marriages reported this same erronenous interpretation.[2] The evidence does not support this. The wives of Joseph Stanhope and Edward Marrett were both having babies during the same time period; and at her death in 1727 the wife of Joseph Stanhope (this woman) was identified as Hannah Stanhope. Furthermore, Joseph Stanhope was very much still alive in 1694 (he died only 1754) when Hannah supposedly re-married, and both Joseph and Hannah were alive in 1696 when they had a child Isaac in 1696 (Sudbury Vital Records). Analysis by Gale Ion Harris indicates that the Hannah Bradish who married Joseph Stanhope was this woman, "Annetie" Bradish, daughter of James Bradish and his wife Katherine, who was baptized in Newtown, Long Island, New York in 1663.[3]

Biography

Hannah was born in Long Island, New York, in 1663,[3] a daughter of James and Katherine Cronenburg.

Following the loss of her father even before her second birthday, it is likely that she was moved to Sudbury, Massachusetts, to live with her uncle Joseph Bradish.

In 1685 in Sudbury, she married Joseph Stanhope, also of Sudbury.[4]

Joseph and Hannah continued to live in Sudbury and according to the Vital Records of that place had 5 children, as follows (note that her name is spelled both "Hannah" and "Annah"):[5]

  1. Susanah b. Sept. 11, 1685
  2. Jonathan b. Jan. 25, 1687
  3. Joseph b. Sept. 11, 1690
  4. Jemimah b. Oct. 9. 1691, and
  5. Isaac b. Oct. 10, 1696.

Hannah died in 1727 at the age of 58.[6] Her husband outlived her by 27 years.

Thanks, Ellen

It was also clear to me that there were two different Hannah Bradish's and this is why I removed Merritt as a husband and added the explanatory note, when I inherited the file last year. I had not seen this specific 2002 article, though, so many thanks for highlighting that. I will have a close look and see if we have enough evidence to re-align with different parents. Thanks again.

I think the only relationship that needs adjusting right now is the addition of this woman's mother. Additionally, however, there is Hannah Manning, the first wife of James Bradish, and this woman's siblings. These are identified in the Gale Ion Harris article.

I plot out as a descendant of Edward Marrett and Hannah Bradish, so I came at this from the other direction, and I added a "mistaken identity" discussion to the other Hannah Bradish when I created it in May 2018.

According to the Gale Ion Harris article, this woman was recorded at baptism as Annetie, child of Jacobus Bradius. According to the New Netherland project naming convention, we should change her LNAB to Bradius. I haven't worried about that yet. Also, all of the variant names need to be in the profile.

Revisiting this profile today, I realized that there was a Bradish family presence in eastern Long Island at the time when Joseph Bradish the pirate (brother of "my" Hannah Bradish) brought the ship he had overtaken to eastern Long Island. I am now thinking that the presence of one or more cousins in Long Island might have influenced his action...

Research published in 2002 in The American Genealogist concluded that there were two women named Hannah Bradish (who were having children at the same time). The one who married Joseph Stanhope was "Annetje" Bradish, daughter of James Bradish and his wife Katherine; she was baptized in Newtown, Long Island, New York in 1663. Her cousin, the Hannah Bradish who was born in Sudbury in 1669, is the one who married Edward Marrett (as her first husband, not a second husband). See https://www.americanancestors.org/databases/american-genealogist-the/image?pageName=96&volumeId=13261&rId=24793393

The Hannah who married Joseph Stanhope is the daughter of Bradish-97 (newly created profile).

I am temporarily refraining from making edits in order to let the profile manager(s) review this information.
