Research Notes

From page 104 of the book Rev John Mayo and his Descendants^[4] Hannah Mayo (John4, Samuel3, John2, John1) was born on January 8, 1681/82 in Hingham, Plymouth Colony. She married Judah Hopkins on May 12, 1720 in Harwich, Barnstable County, Province of Massachusetts Bay. She died after 1748.

Judah Hopkins was first married to Hannah's cousin, also named Hannah Mayo and according to the above book both Hannah's were born on the same day. The book also expresses some concern over the validity of those birth dates. Occasionally, there are suggestions to merge these two Hannah's; however, unless some additional information comes to light, we will leave them as separate individuals.
