Research Notes

Birth, death and marriage records are required for Hannah and her husband. Her son requires a birth record.

• Sources are required to support attached relationship to husband Joshua Grant (bef.1715-1751) and son Joshua Grant (bef.1748-1831),

Detaching Joshua Grant (bef.1748-1831) as son of Hannah:
As of 13 Nov 2023, Pam Belanger is removing the connection between Hannah and Joshua Grant-3505 as the son was baptized several years after her date of death as currently entered. I am leaving Joshua Grant attached to Hannah's husband Joshua Grant-3507 as the son's baptism record indicates both father and son were named Joshua Grant. If records are found that change the data, please add, reattach, and accept my appology! ^[1]

• One mention has been found the that Hannah's attached husband Joshua Grant (bef.1715-1751) married a Hannah about 1741 and had a son that fits the description of Joshua Grant (bef.1748-1831), It contains no citations. The compilation "Descendents of Peter Grant (Scotch exile) of Kittery and Berwick, Maine" is attached here: ^[2]

Possible this is Hannah (Littlefield) Hammond (1714-1780): Littlefield-2167?
The parents named in the biography those attached to Littlefield-2167:
Joseph Littlefield (1684-1768) and Abigail (Storer) Littlefield (1687-1730).

Possible, Why?

-After the profile was created a reference to Hannah Littlefield:
FamilySearch Person: LRWJ-F3F; (accessed October 2022) was added.
That FamilySearch ID no longer exists.
On 11 Nov 2023 the Hannah Littlefield, FamilySearch Person: LRWJ-F3F, was merged into Hannah Littlefield FamilySearch Person: KJ46-629.
FamilySearch Person: KJ46-629 is Hannah (Littlefield) Hammond (1714-1780)
with parents Joseph Littlefield (1684-1768)
and Abigail (Storer) Littlefield (1687-1730).

-No marriage recored has been found for a Hannah Littlefield and the Joshua Grant who is attached as husband to this profile. FamilySearch has a marriage record for a Hannah Littlefield and John Hammond.

-Possible reference (not sourced) to Hannah's parents:
"Joseph Littlefield eldest son of Joseph Littlefield
married Abigial Storer daughter of Joseph and Hannah Storer 4 Aug 1709.
Children: Benjamin, probably other children." Does not mention Hannah. ^[3]

Why not?: The date of birth is off. No Birth record, death record, nor burial record has been found to connect Hannah to these parents. All of these profiles require additional sources.
