    Notes:
    MARRIAGE: Note: 1. In 1670 a hearing in the Connecticut General Court was had for the consideration of a petition of Hannah for liberty to marry again, setting forth that she had not heard from her late husband for 8 years with her neighbors also so testifying. She was granted liberty to marry Roger. She was his 3rd wife.

    HISTORY OF STONINGTON CT, by Wheeler, page 418 & 419.
    Pending the session of the General Court of Connecticut in 1670, ahearing was had for the consideration of a petition of Mrs Hannah Hewitt,the widow of Thomas Hewitt, for liberty to marry again, setting forthathat she had not heard from her late husband for the space of eightyears, and better, and her neighbors also testifying that the said Hewitthad so long been absent and that they had not heard of him, or the vesselor company he went with since their departure. "The court havingconsidered the premises, declare that the said Hannah Hewitt is atliberty to marry again if she see cause."
    So on the 27th day of December 1671, she was united in marriage withRoger Sterry. He d. before 1680; she m. 3d. John Fish Aug. 25, 1681, shebeing his 3d wife.

    WALTER PALMER OF CHARLESTOWN & REHOBOTH, MASS. & STONINGTON, CONN.,Compiled, Edited, Typed and Partly researched by Doris Palmer Buys, page77.
    She was bapt. 15 Jun 1634 in First Church in Charlestown, MA (TheFirst Record-Book of The First church in Charlestown" page 202 recordsthe baptism of "Hanna Palmer the daughter of Gualter Palmer and ofRebeckah his wife" as reprinted in and issue of NEHGR, Volume 25, page147, in April of 1871) The first daughter and first four sons of thiscouple were born during the years they resided together in Charlestown,MA, from June 1633 until 1643.
    Hannah removed with her parents to Rehoboth, MA, in 1643 andthereafter to Stonington CT, in 1653. She married (1st) Thomas Hewitt on26 Apr 1659 in Stonington; he was lost at sea and on 27 Dec 1671 Hannahmarried Roger Sterry who died before 1680; she married 3rd John Fish on25 Aug 1681 as his 3rd wife.

    Hannah was evidently born early in May or in early June of 1634,based on the fact that she was baptised in the First Church ofCharlestown on 4th month 15th day 1634 which according to the time meant15 Jun 1634. Whe went with her parents to "Antient" Rehoboth andStonington, where she married her first husband Thomas Hewitt. Heestablished a West India Trade and in the year 1662 started out on avoyage and was never heard from again.
    His widow, Hannah, petitioned the General Court of Connecticut forliberty to re-marry, and this was granted on 27 Dec 1671, and she marriedher second husband Roger Sterry. There is no record of his death otherthan that he died previous to 1680, and that she then married for herthird husband John Fish on 25 Aug 1681 and in turn was his third wife.There is an interesting ante-nuptial contract among the Stoningtonrecords, made at the time of his final marriage to Hannah Palmer. He wasat the time the schoolmaster at Stonington and acted temporarily as townclerk. He was a land surveyor, and himself owned considerable grants ofland. Both John Fish and his son Samuel, were among the volunteers whojoined the esxpedition against King Philip in 1675, and were present atthe Great Swamp fight. At his death his son Samuel was his principalheir. Hannah probably resided her entire life in Stonington.

He was wounded as Nasely, then nursed back to health inthe home of John Borodell. He married his daughter Ann in 1645, then wentto Roxbury, Massachusetts. Later the family settled in Stonington.
    According to the Descendants of George Denison, he was a greater morebrilliant soldier than Miles Standish. He had no equal in war on theIndians except Capt. James Mason. According to Miss Caulkins in theHistory of New London: "Our early history presents no character ofbolder and more active spirit than Capt George Denison. He reminds of theborder men of Scotland. He was always in demand and served in manyimportant positions."
