Biography
Daughter of John Marsh and his second wife Hannah Barnard.
She married Dr. Waitstill Hastings in 1736. They had 5 children: John, Abigail, Hannah Barnard (apparently it was unusual to have middle names at this time and place in history), Mary, Samuel (died young).
She married Col. & Hon. John Bulkeley in 1751. He was a Lawyer, Physician, and a Justice of the Supreme Court of Connecticut. They had one son together, Col. Charles Bulkeley.
-(also mentioned that she was the widow of Maj. Charles Bulkeley, but I have found no evidence of this and believe it is an error.)
She married Rev. Ephraim Little, son of David Little and Elizabeth Southworth on Nov 5, 1755. He died June 5, 1787.
