Pioneer of Virginia's Shenandoah Valley.

Hannah Braddock, daughter of Quakers Elizabeth (née Hancock) and Robert Braddock, was born about 1713 in Evesham Township, Burlington County, Province of New Jersey. Hannah's father had immigrated to America in 1702; her mother was born in Evesham.

Hannah Braddock and John Painter were married on 9 June 1735 in New Jersey. The marriage record identified Hannah (then about 22) as a "spinster" in the sense of a single woman who had never married, and John as a "yeoman," the respectable owner of a small farm. Both were then residents of Evesham. The couple are known to have had seven children, all born in New Jersey, probably in Burlington County —

• Sarah Painter Humbert
• John Painter
• Robert Painter
• Thomas Painter
• Jane Painter Branson
• Hannah Painter Hains Antrim Babb
• Isaac Painter

The Painter family moved permanently to Frederick County, Colony of Virginia, during the winter of 1759-60. The Haddonfield Monthly Meeting in New Jersey recommended Hannah and John Painter be received into membership by the Hopewell Monthly Meeting near Winchester, Frederick County.

Notes

Hannah Braddock is commonly reported to have been born in or about 1713. The original source of this date is not known. It may be an estimate based on the short period her parents were married. Elizabeth Hancock and Robert Braddock were married on 9 November 1709. Their son Robert was born on 18 April 1712, according to Quaker Records. Robert Hancock, senior's, will was made on 19 November 1714, and proved on 4 December 1714. (This will names his wife, and their children: Robert, Rachel, and Hannah.)

John Painter "was married to Hannah Bradock [sic ] who was supposed to be related to General [Edward] Bradock. She was a very stout, thorough going woman, well able to endure hardship incident to frontier life. He put up a rude cabin in the wilderness, built a shop, worked at his trade, cleared land. In the mean time his wife proved to him a helpmate for she assisted him in all his toils, both in and out of doors. By honest labor and rigid economy he acquired property and supported a family of seven children named as follows: John, Robert, Thomas and Isaac, Jane, Sarah, and Hannah [...]" (Mary Antrim Roberts, Autobiography (undated; late 1800s) in: Clyde V.

Mary Roberts (née Antrim) (1794-1885), was the youngest child of Hannah (née Painter) and Godfrey Antrim. The original copy of the Mary Antrim Roberts Autobiography is not available, yet the text is filled with so much humble, domestic material that one can hardly imagine anyone taking the trouble to fabricate it.

"Hannah Painter deceased 26 11 1786" (Iona Lupton, A Record of Birth and Burials for Crooked Run Monthly Meeting 1785, (manuscript), p. 8.) Because her death date was recorded with birth dates of her son Isaac and his wife and children, it is likely that she had been living in Isaac's household
