  • Notes: 

  • Sources disagree on whether Hannah's maiden name was Lewis or Wiggin. There is a Hannah Wiggin who is mentioned in her father Andrew Wiggin's will dated 20 JUL 1753 as Hannah Burley. There is also a marriage record dated 25 FEB 1725 at Greenland, Rockingham County, New Hampshire for a marriage between Josiah Burle and Hannah Lewis. Husband Josiah's will mentions Hannah, but also leaves open the possibility that he had two wives named Hannah.
