Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Gaylord-1

Hannah (Gaylord) Cottrell has English ancestors.

Hannah Gaylord, daughter of William Gaylord and Anna Porter, was born 30 January 1646/7 in Windsor, Connecticut.[1][2]

She married after 2 August 1670 (date of death of his first wife) to John Crandall.[2] They had two children, as follows:[1]

Jeremiah, b. aft. 1670, died between 1 and 28 Aug 1718 at Westerly, m. Priscilla Warner, daughter of John and Ann (Gorton) Warner; she m2. Abraham Lockwood of Providence;
Eber, b. 1675, d. betw. 22 Aug and 15 Sep 1727 at Westerly, m1. Unknown, m2. Patience, daughter of George Lanphear, m3. Mary Cottrell, possible dau. of John.

John Crandall died in 1676 and Hannah married, as her second husband, John Cottrell of Westerly.[1] John came to own land in 1680 that belonged to Rev. John Crandall, and it is thought that it might be because his wife was a Crandall.[3]

Hannah died 3 August 1678,[2] probably at Westerly, Rhode Island, where she is likely buried. Her husband remarried and had children.
