Estimate of birth date: Hanah married Rueben Cummings in 1747, assuming she was 20 years old, I estimated her birth year to be 1725.

"Warning - Death before birth of Child" I chose to save this as is since there is a source for the death date and I found no record of the child Hannah, while there is record of sons William and Rueben.
