    Notes 
    • She and Thomas had eight children, seven of whom were rescued by Thomas when the Indians burned his house 15 March 1697. The babe was dashed against a tree. Hannah and her nurse [Mary Neff] and a youth [Samuel Lenerson/Leonard] were carried away. In the night the three captives arose and killed their twelve Indian captors and returned home with twelve scalps besides their own. [Chase's History of Haverhill pp. 183-195.] They were paid 25 pounds (Hannah) and 12 pounds 10 shillings (Mary and Samuel) by the Massachusetts House even though the bounty previously offered had expired.
