She married Samuel Smith about 1742. He was born about 1720, the son of Richard and Sarah (Unknown) Smith.[1]
Hannah died in Bridport, Vermont on 22 December 1800, aged 74 years, and Samuel died there on 11 November 1798 aged 78 years.[1]

Rhoda Smith( BIRTH 1747 Parsippany, Morris, New Jersey, USA DEATH 30 JUN 1839) had parents named Samuel Smith and Hannah Allen. They were born in New Jersey and moved to Bridport, NH
"Samuel, our ancestor, married and lived at Parsip- pany, Boonton and Morristown, in N. J. In 1770 they moved to Bridport, Vermont,..." "1 Richard Smith, b. in London, came to New Jersey about 1690, d. 1763 ; m. and had five children, 2 Samuel Smith, m. Hannah Allen, b. 1726, d. Dec. 22, 1800, and had nine children, 3 Rhoda, b. 1747, d. June 30, 1839 ; m. 1762 Bethuel Farrand. "
Dates seem close enough to warrant looking at a merge. It seems unlikely that two couples would exist named Samuel Smith and Hannah Allen who would move from NJ to Bridport in the late 1700s.
Thanks PS I already attached husband Samuel Smith to Allen-21999, so please disconnect if Allen-18598 and All-21999 are not the same.
