I am unaware of evidence that Hannah's middle name was Priscilla, or that her Mother's name is known, much less that Desire Day was her mother. So, I have deleted Desire Day as Hannah's Mother, and removed her middle name, Priscilla.
Also, calculation of Hannah's birth date from her gravestone inscription yields: 19 (not 9) June 1750. So, I changed that as well.
