Biography

Hanna was born March 1664.^[1]

December 18, 1678: “vol 3:231 County Clerk Records Richard Bllod of Groton being bound over to this court to answer for letting his daughter Hannah escape, who was accused of having a bastard, and making it away secretly, was ordered to pay costs. The constables bills allowed them to be paid in money as as followeth, Concord Constable- twenty shillings. Groton Constable - forty two shillings." ^[2]

Hannah married Joseph Parker by 1688 before their first child was recorded at Groton. To this union would be born at least three children: Joseph b 1689, Benjamin b 1691, John b 1695.

Death

• Hannah passed away on the 19th April 1728 in Groton.^{[citation needed]}
• Joseph Parker, Hannah's husband, died at Groton in 1725, and Hannah, was appointed to administer his estate. She sold the homestead in Groton to Thomas Tarbell in 1729. ^[3]

Research Notes

Date of Marriage: Some sources have attributed the 19 November 1683 [or November 1682] marriage of Joseph Parker and Hannah Bake in Chelmsford to this couple, the assumption being that either there was a bad transcription or the original record was defective in capturing Hannah's last name accurately. This marriage was more likely for his father Joseph Parker, Sr marrying the widow of John Bauk. The marriage of Joseph Jr to Hannah Blood may have taken place around this time, but definitely would have occured by 1688, before the recorded birth of son Joseph March 1688/9. Son Nathaniel's marriage in about 1704, suggests that he could be significantly older than his brothers (assuming an age of 21-25, he would have been born c1678-1684), leaving his parentage in question. He could be the child born outside of marriage to Hannah Blood (either a natural child or adopted child of Joseph's), or perhaps Joseph's from a previous marriage.
