Notes - The following is a research report from Andrew Pierce: I searched down the best sources given in Torrey's New England Marriages to 1700 for the marriage of William Johnson to Hannah Davis, although references had to be followed up for their parents, not for them.History of Billerica, Massachusetts(1883)shows that Joseph Davis, from Reading MA, married Rebecca Patten in Billerica in 1691; their second daughter Hannah was born in 1694 but it is not stated who she married. Joseph Davis died in 1747 and his Middlesex County probate file(#6045)should certainly be checked, unless you already have this as your source. Middlesex County deeds might also be checked for William & Hannah Johnson deeding out land in her right.ied firstly in 1708, Sarah Dole, secondly, after his first wife died in 1710, Hannah -------. Obviously, the marriage had to occur between 1710 and 1718, when their first child was born in Woburn, and obviously it occurred in or near Woburn, not Mansfield CT since the couple did not remove there until the 1730s, after all their children were born in Woburn and registered in the VRs there. There is no record of William's marriage to Hannah in any Massachusetts vital records, and the actual date might never be known. If you do need confirmation that she was a Davis, however, I can check the above probate and land records at the Middlesex County registry, to which I travel about twice a week.HL US/CAN film #0521779 Page 157
