According to "In the Footsteps of Joseph Hampton and the Pennsylvania Quakers," by Vernon Boyce Hampton, Doylestown, PA: Bucks County Historical Society, 1940, p. 75:
"Hannah Kester was the daughter of Paul and Hannah Kester and a direct descendant of Paulus Kester, who came from the Upper Rhine to Germantown, Philadelphia, in 1687."
Aside from V.B. Hampton's assertion, however, unfortunately Hannah cannot be connected to any of the known Kester/Castor families in the Philadelphia and Bucks Co. areas.
Hannah was a Quaker. She received a Certificate of Removal from the Monthly Meeting in Buckingham Twp., Bucks Co. to Wrightstown in 1773.
Hannah married Isachar Morris on 5th day, 12th month, 1773 at the Buckingham Monthly Meeting. Witnesses were Isachar's mother Lydia Roberts, his sisters Catharine Morris and Ann Morris, and Hannah's presumed parents Paul Kester and Hannah Kester.
The couple had seven children: Lydia in 1774, Elizabeth in 1776, Isachar in 1778, Mary in 1781, Joseph in 1784, Sarah in 1788 and Hannah in 1791.
It is assumed, but not confirmed, that she was buried in the Wrightstown Friends Cemetery.
