Amidon (Amadowne), Hannah^[1]

Bef 1652 - 1719  (~ 67 years)

• Name	Amidon (Amadowne), Hannah
  Birth	Bef 1652	Rehoboth, Bristol, Massachusetts
  	Best's book on the Amidon family says that Hannah's birth date was 20 Sep 1652, the same as her sister Joanna's birth date. While it is possible that Hannah and Joanna were twins, it also is possible that Best somehow concluded they were the same person. I suspect that Hannah that was born some time earlier. If 20 Sep 1652 was Hannah's birth date, she would have been only 13 years 9 months and 3 days old when her first child Hannah was born. Thus, she would only have 12 or barely 13 when she was married. That would have been an exceptionally early age for marriage even at that time. That Hannah was Roger's daughter is shown by the following extract from the agreement on the distribution of Roger's assets after his death: "that one other acre of fresh meadow, lying at the aforesaid 40 acre meadow, be settled unto and upon Hannah Wheaton, the daughter of the said Roger Annadowne, wife unto Jeremiah Wheaton, and likewise 10 acres of upland lying at Wachamaucutt Necke."
