Hannah (Unknown) Brundage is currently protected by the Puritan Great Migration Project for reasons described in the narrative. Join: Puritan Great Migration Project Discuss: PGM

This profile is protected and tracked by WikiTree's Puritan Great Migration Project due to unsourced claims that she was the daughter of a Great Migration-era immigrant.

Disputed Origins

A previous version of this profile claimed that this Hannah (who married John Brundage) was the daughter of William Hunt by his first wife, Elizabeth Best born on the 12th of the 12th month 1640 (12 Feb 1641, not 12 Dec 1640) in Concord, Middlesex, Massachusetts ^{[1] [2]}.

However, there is currently no primary source documentation nor secondary source documentation that Hannah Hunt born 12 Feb 1641 is the Hannah ____________ who married John Brundage Jr. The citation on John's profile that claims to show the year of marriage and her maiden name does not give either. It does not give a year of marriage and in the two places which mention the wife of John she is listed as simply Hannah ____________.

In addition, while William Hunt did have a daughter Hannah, she was deceased by the time of his 1667 will, so could have not have been this Hannah who lived until 1721.

Biography

"Hannah Brundage ye Relict of John Brundage decesed made oath to ye truth of the above inventory." John's inventory was taken 2 Oct 1697. In the court ordered division the widow was to have her dowry in housing and Land and "as much of the movables as the Eldest son's portion Coms to" ^[3]

An agreement was made 5 Dec 1698 [died after this date], in Rye, between the heirs, "our honored mother Hannah Brundige Shall have hold and Injoy her third of all and singular this or abovesaid lands and meddows etc. " ^[3]

Research Notes

The following has been moved from the biography to research notes because it is citing a pedigree file absent primary source documentation:

According to the following Pedigree File, there is one child of Joseph, b. 1667, (The son of Stout Old John and Hannah Hunt.) and Mary, who is Joseph, b. 1698, m. Elizabeth Jennings. Joseph and Elizabeth had 8 children.^[5] One of the 8 children is Nathaniel Brundage, b. 1726. Unfortunately there are no children of Nathaniel. Note that Perry Streeter suggested that Nathaniel, b. 1726, was possibly the father of Nathaniel, b. 1756, and Solomon, b. 1763. See page 3 of the Summary and Commentary.^[6]

Perry Streeter also lists the grandchildren of Stout Old John, b. 1635/6. He says that there were: 3 Johns; 3 Josephs; 2 Johnathans; 4 Davids; 3 Joshuas; 3 Hannahs; 2 Deborahs/Debras; and many others. There was only one Benjamin, one Absalom, and one Abraham. There were no Solomons. Some of the multiple names were identified by From Bulkeley to Bulkley to Buckley The Ancestors and Descendants of Moses Bulkley (1727-1812) by Thomas Taylor, Pub. 2008, Chapter: The Brundidge Family Connection.
