11. | BURKE Hannah (5.Hannah3, 3.Caleb2, 1.Hannah1) was born about 1712; died on 18 Aug 1776 in Swanzey, Cheshire Co., NH. Notes:
It is unknown where Timothy and Hannah were married , but probably in Rutland, Worcester County, MA where she lived with her late husband before he drowned. Timothy owned property in Ware, given him by his father, Thomas. Timothy knew the Wrights well and was well aquainted with Hannah and her first husband, Cyprian Wright, who died by drowning in Muscopog Pond in Rutland in 1738. Cyprian's name was on a land deed of Thomas Brown.
Hannah brought three children, of which two were minors, to this marriage; William, Samuel and John. John died by the age of 10 years.
Timothy had to put up a surety bond for these children so he sold some land in Rutland to have money in trust for their care.
Timothy died 3 Jan. 1770, preceding Hannah in death. She died of small pox in Swanzey, 1776.
