  • Notes: 

  • Hannah Stanford's given name is also seen as Lydia. She is often claimed to be the Lydia Tukey who married Nathaniel Webb in 1780, however, Lydia would have been only 11 or 12 years old when she would have married Benjamin Tukey. It is therefore believed that Hannah and Lydia are not the same woman and that only Hannah was the wife of Benjamin Tukey.
