Research Notes

1. In general most records of her show she was born in Nov 1671 in Scituate, Plymouth, Massachusetts. They also show/state she died on 30 Apr 1747 in Scituate, Plymouth, Massachusetts.
2. They indicate that she is the daughter of Anthony Stetson and Sarah Dodson. (This profile says her father is Thomas Stetson.) However, more than one document shows John Foster married Hannah STUDSON on 16 Nov 1692 in Plymouth, Plymouth. Mass. Note her name is spelled "Studson" not STETSON but to confuse the issue, Studson was a common substitute for Stetson (or even Stitson). -rsl
3. In the written records by the town clerk in Scituate, Mass. he makes an entry that Hannah Stetson died on 10 Apr 1709. He states her father is Joseph Stetson Jr. [3]
4. Another Hannah Stetson in the Plymouth area is one born 1 Jun 1679, daughter of Benjamin Stetson and Bethia Hawke. [4]

Unknown-351651 and Stetson-153 appear to represent the same person because: these profiles needs to be merged, several duplicates in this set of family profiles. Trying to clean it up. This unknown one is mine.
