She married after 2 August 1670 (date of death of his first wife) to John Crandall.[2] They had two children, as follows:[1]
Jeremiah, b. aft. 1670, died between 1 and 28 Aug 1718 at Westerly, m. Priscilla Warner, daughter of John and Ann (Gorton) Warner; she m2. Abraham Lockwood of Providence;
Eber, b. 1675, d. betw. 22 Aug and 15 Sep 1727 at Westerly, m1. Unknown, m2. Patience, daughter of George Lanphear, m3. Mary Cottrell, possible dau. of John.
John Crandall died in 1676 and Hannah married, as her second husband, John Cottrell of Westerly.[1] John came to own land in 1680 that belonged to Rev. John Crandall, and it is thought that it might be because his wife was a Crandall.[3]
Hannah died 3 August 1678,[2] probably at Westerly, Rhode Island, where she is likely buried. Her husband remarried and had children.

New York, 1962, pp. 95, 96: "John Crandall mentioned in his father's will was of Westerly and Kingston, Rhode Island. He owned the land in Kingston in 1680 which was laid out by Rev. John Crandall. His first wife's name is not known. His second wife might be Hannah Gaylord Crandall. If this is so, it might explain how he came in possession of the Crandall land."

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Hannah by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Hannah:
If John Crandall died in 1676 and Hannah remarried John Cottrell before she herself died in 1678, she would likely have been John Cottrell's FIRST wife; all of John Cottrell's children were born after Hannah's death. John Cottrell would have been in his mid-20s.
