"The court havingconsidered the premises, declare that the said Hannah Hewitt is atliberty to marry again if she see cause."

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.
