Note that this person is profiled has having married both Hannah Henry and Hannah (Wright) Read during the same year, 1749. Were the two Hannahs the same person, or is one of them erroneously attached to this profile? Note also that the son John Underwood [Underwood-2877], listed as son of the first listed wife, Hannah Henry, was born in 1755, which would have been 6 years subsequent to the 1749 date of marriage to his first Hannah; so it would have been unlikely that John the father would have had 2 wives, both named Hannah, at that time.
