Biography
Hannah was born about 1627. She is the daughter of Unknown Marsh. She and her brothers Samuel and Jonathan came to this country in 1641. They all came here under a contract of indentured servitude. They were all in New Haven, CT by 1643. She was first married to Lancelot Fuller, and she married (secondly) after November 1652 to John Finch Jr.
In December 1645 she sued Francis Brewster for calling her a "Billingsgate slutt". Hannah was in court on several occasions concerning slander, and as late as February 1664/65, she was a witness in a case in which her daughter (Mary Fuller) was convicted of lewd behavior.

Also note my comment that Hannah born in 1635 cannot be daughter of John Marsh and Grace Baldwin, because John Marsh died in 1627 (eight before 1635) and they would never have been in New York. The parents of Hannah born in 1635 are apparently unknown.
