Biography

She married James Oliver on 3 August 1752.^[1] Hannah survived her husband. In 1793, she sold their 155 acre farm in the south part of Athol to Amos and Sally Partridge, for 300 pounds.^[2] The farm is described as being bound by land of Abraham Nutt, John Oliver, Lot No. 24, John Stockwell, Peleg Stratton, and Lot No. 10.^[3] At the same time, the Partridges leased it back to her for her natural life for 100 pounds.^[4] It appears to have been a bad deal for the Partridges.
