Hannah was very likely the daughter of Jonathan Sampson and Deborah (Bradford) Sampson. It was well known that Jonathan and Deborah had amongst their seven known children a daughter Hannah. Unfortunately, it appears the parents failed to register the births of their children with the town clerk's office, with the exception of the youngest child, Sylvia.
Siblings:
Jonathan Sampson
Elisha Sampson
Ephraim Sampson
Deborah (Sampson) Gannett
Nehemiah B. Sampson
Sylvia (Sampson) Cushman

The 1800 U.S. Census recorded Hannah Bosworth as head of household, a widow, with five of the six children living with her in Halifax.
When Benjamin's father John Bosworth died in 1801, the provisions of his will were administered by Benjamin's brothers David and William. On Aug. 1, 1802, there was a division of the Real Estate, and at that time, a one-sixth share was given to the "heirs of Benjamin Bosworth."
On April 12, 1802, Hannah asked that David Bosworth of Halifax be appointed guardian to her six children, and Sarah and Jonathan being above 14, joined in the request. On April 13, 1802, David and William Bosworth, yeomen, younger brothers of Benjamin, along with Moses Tomson "gentlemen" gave bonds. On January 3, 1807, the three older children above 14, Jonathan, Susanna & Benjamin, made the choice of Obadiah Lyon of Halifax to be their guardian.
