Biography

Hannah Thayer was probably the daughter of Thomas Thayer, Jr. and Hannah (Unknown) Thayer. Faxon and Whorf's 1906 NEHGR article Tayer (Thayer) Family Entries in the Parish Register of Thornbury, Gloucestershire, England^[1] and Cutter (no doubt in reliance on Faxon and Whorf)^[2] suggested that Hannah and her sister Sarah may have been the daughters of Thomas Thayer, Sr and Margery (Wheeler) Thayer. Sprague, however, concluded that "Sarah and Hannah were positively not daughters of Thomas¹ or Richard¹ Thayer, and are undoubtedly children of Thomas² Thayer."^[3] No doubt based on her presumed parents' date of marriage (about 1643) and the fact that her presumed sister Sarah was married before Hannah and thus probably older, Sprague estimated Hannah's date of birth as "between 1645 and 1646."^[4]

Hannah and Samuel Hayden were married in Braintree on October 28, 1664 by Major Lusher.^[5][4]

Hannah and Samuel had the following children, all born in Braintree:

1. Hannah, b. after 1664^[4]
2. Patience, b. after 1664^[4]
3. Samuel, b. August 6, 1665,^[6][4] d. August 27, 1665 in Braintree^[7]
4. Susanna, b. September 28, 1666^[8][4]
5. Sarah, b. March 25, 1668, m. about 1690 John Wild in Braintree, d. January 29, 1724 in Braintree
6. Katherine, b. March 10, 1670/1^[9][4]

Hannah's first husband, Samuel Hayden, died in Braintree about October 1676 and Hannah became administrator of his estate.^[10]

Hannah married, second, Jonathan Paddleford about 1678.^[4]

Hannah and Jonathan had the following child:

1. Jonathan, b. March 15, 1678/9 in Braintree^[11][4]

Hannah died sometime after 1706 in Taunton, Massachusetts.^[4]
