Richard CHEESMAN
There is no public record of Hannah's birth date which has created confusion over the identity of her mother. Most family researchers list it 03 APR 1676 which is suspect in that it precedes Peter Stringham's 1677 immigration to America. Further, most researchers list Anne Owen, Peter Stringham's second wife as her mother. Peter and Anne were married in 1683. If Anne were Hannah's mother,Hannah would have been no older than 11 at the time of her reported 1694 marriage to Richard Cheesman. It is more probable she was born 1679-1682 when PeterStringham was was married to Susannah Harcourt.
