    Record Source: Note by Robert Hanscom (4242016): see Charlotte Helen Abbott's unpublished history of the Gray family of Andover -- Hannah (Holt) Gray, wife of Robert Gray, was almost certainly NOT the Hannah who, as an infant, accompanied her parents, Nicholas and Elizabeth Holt, to America on the ship "James" (April-June 1635). Rather, that Hannah likely died as a child, and a second Hannah was born to Nicholas And Elizabeth About 1649.28, no age given) gave birth to children between the years of 1670 and 1692. If she was identical with the Hannah, b. 1634, she would have been 58 at the birth of her youngest child -- highly unlikely. But a birth year of c1649 -- making her 43 in 1692 -- is much more plausible.Birth Place Englando., MA Marr Date8 Mar 1668 Marr Place Salem, Essex Co., MAEdward (1679-)013Created 13 Sep 2014 using Reunion for Macintosh A Genealogical History of the Holt Family in the United States: more particularly, the descendants of Nicholas Holt of Newbury and Andover, Mass., 1634-1644, and of William Holt of New Haven, Conn.
