  • Notes: 

  • There are two Hannah Morrills with both born about 1752, married in 1770, and died in 1824. One married Benjamin Merrill and the other Jacob Currier. Published sources have claimed both of these Hannahs as daughters of Micajah and Hannah (Hackett) Morrill. Since both marriages overlap, we know that they are two separate women. However, Hannah (Morrill) Currier named one of her sons Micajah Currier which would support this Hannah as the daughter of Micajah and Hannah (Hackett) Morrill.

    Hannah also does not appear to have married second Daniel Little as is sometimes claimed. The chronology of the children seem to make that impossible.
