Yes. I wrote that below.  According to MinerDescent Hannah and Susannah are twins, both born on March 11, 1717/18.  Hannah married Shubael Geer, and Susannah married George Cooley.  Proofs are also on their profiles below.  What is confusing is that other Published sources interchange their names.  Hannah is already added to Ebenezer and Mindwell as parents - Susanna is not.  I request that she be added.  Thanks.

Is this the same person as Hannah (Pease) Geer (Pease-32), or are they sisters? They have the same parents.

I found an entry in ancestry for Massachusetts Wills  Ebenezer lived in Enfield, as stated in the Will, but at that time, Enfield, was part of Massachusetts.  It currently is part of Connecticut, but is close to Massachusetts. https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/7498865:9069

The family members listed in the index and in the will , which is on the right side image - Ebenezer, wife Mindwell, sons Ebenezer, James, and daughters Hannah Gears, Mindwell Bull, Abigail, Katharine and Martha Pease.   

Therefore, Susannah that married George Cooley is not part of that family since Ebenezer died 1743, according to his profile. Susannah married George Cooley in 1740.

Hannah married Shubael Geer 1737 and had children through 1950s, so she did not marry George Cooley as a 2nd husband. 

Susannah and Hannah had children at the same time in different locations so they were also not twins, but instead seem to get conflated.  Birth Source is attached to Hannah's profile, but none is attached to Susannah's profile.
