Hannah Clark was born 5 May 1681, daughter of William Clark and his wife Hannah (Strong) Clark.[1] Her birth is recorded in the Lebanon, Connecticut Vital Records (vol 1 p 40) along with the marriage of her parents. This Clark family moved from Northampton to Lebanon, Connecticut. The marriage and birth of several of the Clark children probably happened before the move to Lebanon.
The marriage of William Clark and Hannah Strong is also found in several published secondary sources. [2],[3],[4][5]
This Hannah is generally assumed to be the Hannah Hunt who married Ebenezer Hunt. Their marriage was recorded at Lebanon. (Barbour Collection Lebanon VR P140 ref vol 1 p 147) Torey on page p402 gives the date of their marriage as May 27, 1698.
Thomas Loomis married the widow Hannah Hunt on 20 Dec 1743 in Connecticut.[6]
Hannah died 10 June 1758 Lebanon, New London, CT.[7]
Marriage and death for this other Hannah, who married Jonathan Blinn, are found in the Barbour Collection of Wethersfield Vital Records p 66 on line at AmericanAncestors.org:
Jonathan Blinn m Hannah Clark d. William, Dec 9, 1708 by Robert Wells, J.P., ref. Vol 1 p66
Hannah Blinn w of Jonathan d February 11, 1711 age 23., ref Vol 1 p 66. She gave birth to two sons The first one died at 3 months. The second son Jonathan survived her. He was a newborn when she died.
The time line for this other Hannah who seems always to have lived in Wethersfield, Connecticut, daughter of a William Clark, is such that she would have been only twelve years old at that time when Ebenezer Hunt married a Hannah Clark.
Hannah Clarke was born 05 May 1681Northampton, Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay Colony.[8][9]She passed on 10 Jun 1758 Lebanon, New London, Connecticut Colony.[10][9]
Hannah married 1st Ebenezer Hunt 27 May 1698 Northampton, Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay Colony.[11]and 2nd Thomas Loomis 20 Dec 1743 Lebanon, New London, CT.[12]

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Hannah by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Hannah:
Clark-59902 and Clark-8130 do not represent the same person because: Hannah Loomis (Lyman) Hunt was the wife of Lieut. Simeon Hunt. Simeon was the son of Ebonezer Hunt and he married Hannah Clark in Northampton May 27, 1698.
Clarke-7370 and Clark-8130 appear to represent the same person because: Same parents; same siblings; same dates & places of birth; the only difference is in the surnames "Clark" & Clarke". The former is the valid surname for the family, as per parents and most siblings as cited in references.
I'm wondering about the marriage to Thomas Bissell? Torrey's New England marriages shows that Hannah's 2nd husband was Thomas Loomis. That would also match with the 1758 year of death.
