  • Notes: 

  • Claims that Hannah's maiden name was Hurd may have resulted from confusion with Thomas Barnam's second wife Sarah (Thompson) Hurd, widow of John Hurd. More evidence is needed for Hannah.

    It is possible that Hannah's given name may not have been Hannah. Although multiple sources have published that Thomas Barnum's first wife was named Hannah, they do not provide their source of the information.
