Hannah is the third child so named by her parents John and Hannah. She is the only one to survive.
This story is commonly told about Hannah:
It was sometimes thought that Hannah was "possessed" - that she was indeed a witch. Perhaps she feigned her action in sport, or it may be she was the subject of some nervous disorder. But the story goes that when afflicted, she would call on her brother Samuel for help. He would at once arm himself with a great broadsword, enter the room where Hannah was, and when his sister had pointed out the locality of the tormenting spirits - to him invisible - would cut and slash for very life. And then Hannah - the wicked tease - noting her brother's troubled air, would say "No, not there, but there! there! ah, there they are in that corner, grinning and chattering at your blunder."
