Her husband Rufus died on August 17, 1777 in Bennington, Vermont in the service of the Revolution. [3]
Research Notes
**** NOTE *** There are unsourced online trees that say this Hannah Ball also married Jacob Baker. However that marriage occurred in 1770 and this Hannah was still having children with Rufus Pratt until 1778. There is no indication she was ever married to a Jacob Baker.
