Although the available land records indicate that George and Hannah purchased land in 1670 in that portion of the Province of East Jersey that was later formed into Monmouth County, New Jersey, they apparently never moved there. The majority of their children, however, eventually moved to New Jersey, settling in either Burlington County, or in the vicinity of Shrewsbury in Monmouth County. In 1683, George and Hannah's relationship with the Quakers of Sandwich became strained over the marriage of their daughter, Lydia, to Edward Wooley who was not a Quaker. Hannah subsequently died at Sandwich about two years later in 1685.

Research notes

Disputed Birth 21 Jun 1626 Sandwich, Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States/^[2] No known records discovered so far indicating parents, date, or location of birth. Cannot have been born in Sandwich, Massachusetts; it didn't exist until 1637.

Given her approximate date of birth based on husband's age and age of first child, it seems reasonable to believe that Hannah was born in England and came over to the New World with her family.
