5. [[Category: Hampden County, Massachusetts, Knowlton Name Study]] == Biography == Hannah Merrick, the daughter of [[Merrick-10|Thomas Merrick]] and [[Stebbins-1|Sarah Stebbins]], was born February 10, 1650. She married Benjamin Knowlton.<ref>The Settlers of the Beekman Patent, V.1-8 (Online database: AmericanAncestors.org, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2013), (Orig. Pub. by Frank J.

They had no children. When Mathew passed away in 1718 he left a will dated Jul 16, 1718 in which Hannah is named his executor. Mathew instructed that Hannah receive his house and land to use for her natural life after which it wasto go to Mathew Crowfoot the son of James Crowfoot of Danbury, Connecticut. It is not known when Hannah passed away but it is obviously after July 16, 1718 in Springfield. The claim made in a Find A Grave memorial (with no photo of any gravestone inscription) that she died in 1716 inCharlestown, MA. is false. That error has been brought to the attention of the profile manager and been corrected. === Marriage === : Husband: [[Knowlton-162|Benjamin Knowlton]] : Wife: [[Mirick-4|Hannah Mirick]] : Marriage: :: Date: 30 NOV 1676 :: Source: [[#S103]] : User ID: 114F69B078D7480392F50C1F7F6E9C3D8B08 : Child: [[Knowlton-191|Mary Knowlton]] : Child: [[Knowlton-192|Benjamin Knowlton]] : Child: [[Knowlton-193|Sarah Knowlton]] : Child: [[Knowlton-194|Mercy Knowlton]] : Child: [[Knowlton-195|Joseph Knowlton]] : Child: [[Knowlton-196|Mercy Knowlton]] === Sources === * Massachusetts, Springfield, Vital Records, 1638-1887, The Marriage of Hannah Knowlton and Mathew Crowfoot, https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XPJJ-1YG* Massachusetts, Wills and Probate Records, 1635-1991, The Will of Mathew Crowfoot; https://www.ancestry.com/interactive/9069/007705549_00512/628346?backurl=https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/89316435/person/432056556314/facts/citation/1162075175696/edit/record* Hannah Merrick- Ancestry Tree- https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/89316435/person/79005332166/facts <references/> : Source <span id='S103'>S103</span> : Text: Web Site : Text: Knowlton Mailing List : Text: Descendants of William Knowlton : Text: http://www.benetech.com/knowlton/ : Text: viewed 23 March 1999
