| Notes |
- The Warwick vital records, and also Elder Gorton's pastoral papers, say Hannah married Henry Tibbitts, Jr. It has been assumed by some genealogists and writers that this was Henry, the son of Henry & Phebe. However, there was another related Henry, Jr. in the next town, East Greenwich, who may have been a widower at this time. It is quite possible that she married him. Also, Henry Sr. was most likely a widower at that time, since his wife Phebe had probably died (not mentioned in his will). It happens that his father was also a Henry, so he himself was a junior. However, it is reasonable to assume that Hannah married one of the younger Henrys. These twins that she supposedly had are not mentioned in the Warwick vital records, but are in a genealogist's card file at the Rhode Island Historical Library. Also, Henry had a brother Charles and a sister Elizabeth (same names as the twins), one or both of whom died around this time, all of which makes the data a bit confusing to sort out. Samuel Tillinghast's Diary reports the deaths of Charles and Elizabeth, and in telling of their funeral, says they were buried in one grave, implying that they were sister and brother. So, they would have been either the twins or the older sister and brother, siblings of Henry, Jr.
