In addition to the ten daughters mentioned in her husband's will, she refers to her son James. There were other sons as well, but they must have already received their shares.

The 2016 edition of part 2 of the Warren Silver Book does not list a daughter named Hannah. Isaac Little and Sarah Church had three children. Joseph 1727, George 1730, and Sarah 1732. (Page 178)

I see that Part 1 of the Warren Silver Book is listed as a source, but Hannah is not listed in that book.
