  • Notes 
    • Two different Hannah Wilson's
      Everything that has this one showing born in 1672 actually belongs to this Hannah's Aunt ID G338-CPR.

      You can find the information in the book "Descendants of John Wilson of Woburn, MA" by Ken Stevens pages 7 and 8.



      3 different Hannah's in this family
      In my family records it shows:
      Hannah Wilson born, 31 May 1672. It shows she died as a child with no date.
      Hannah Wilson born, 28 December 1674. It shows she died as a child on 5 May 1676.
      Hannah Wilson born 11 March 1677. It shows she married James Proctor on 3 December 1691. She was the only daughter named Hannah that lived long enough to marry.

      2nd wife of John Proctor was the daughter of John Wilson and Hannah James
      After Hannah's father John Willson's death, her mother Hannah then married Lt. Thomas Fuller of Salem Village (now Danvers). Salem Village was the center of the witchcraft hysteria and the elderly Hannah, a stranger, after a short stay in town, prudently decided to forsake her husband, leave Salem Village and return to Woburn to stay with her daughter.

      The Woburn Town Records note, "Ye selectmen met and called James Proctor to
      account for entertaining Hannah Fuller, his mother-in-law, without leave of ye selectmen."
      Subsequently a bond for 80 pounds was given by James Wilson Sr. of Billerica, Samuel Wilson,
      Aaron Cleveland, and James Proctor, all of Woburn, to free the town of any charge resulting
      from "Hannah Fuller, ye wife of Lt. Thomas Fuller of Salem Village, who is come to this Towne
      of Woburn to live with her children."
