*Hannah was my 7th great grandmother

Hannah LEWIS was born on 26 Nov 1716 in Lyme, New London, Connecticut and died in 1790 in Waterbury, New Haven, Connecticut.

Her birth information is found in the Connecticut Town Birth Records pre-1870 (Barbour Collection) and in the U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900. [the Barbour Collection also mentions her parents names]

Hannah LEWIS was the daughter of William Lewis (c1685- ) and Elizabeth BORDEN (c1685- ).

On 12 Mar 1731 in Lyme, New London Co., Connecticut, Hannah married Jonathan Beebe (1709-1759) as found in the U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900 and as also found in the book, "The town and city of Waterbury, Connecticut, Volume 1" by Sarah Johnson Prichard, pg 16 ap.

They had at least nine children:

Ira (1735-1792), Zeruah (1737-1781), Zere 'Zehah' (1740-1803), Borden (1742-1760), Jonathan (1745- ), David (1747-1840), Seba (1749-1837), Silas Constant (1750- ), and Reuben Beebe (1751- ).

*I am descended from their son, Ira

In about 1752, Jonathan and Hannah moved from Lyme, Connecticut to Waterbury, New Haven, Connecticut. This information was found in a story that mentioned Samuel Hickox [in the book, "The town and city of Waterbury, Connecticut, Volume 1" by Sarah Johnson Prichard] and reads as follows:

"Before Smith had finished his house Jonathan Beebe of Lyme appeared on the scene and was so attracted by the advantages of Judd's Meadow for business that he made him a tempting offer which Smith accepted.."

Mr. [Jonathan] Beebe doubtless brought Eastern ideas and notions from New London and Lyme into the valley, and Mr. Hoadly probably preferring the old ways, the two men agreed to divide their possessions. Consequently each becamse the owner of a strip here and a parcel there of good, bad, and indifferent lands.

Hoadly eventually became sole owner of the grist-mill and it is thought of the saw-mill also, Mr. Beebe retaining a right to lay logs by the mill, and possibly a right in the mills. When the lands were divided, as above shown, the old Daniel Warner homestead (called at the sale a small house) was also divided - the dividing line passing through the chimney. By the time Mr. Beebe had completed his new house and fence, he conveyed all that he owned east of his new fence to Mr. Hoadly.

In the course of time - Mr. Beebe having become, by the grace of The General Assembly, a Lieutenant, wrote: "Being advanced in years, and being called to the Wars," and made his will."

**Samuel Hickox is my 8th great grandfather. His granddaughter, Jemima Hickox, married Ira Beebe who was the son of Hannah and her husband, Lieut. Jonathan Beebe. I am descended from Jemima HICKOX and Ira Beebe (my 6th great grandparents).

We do not know the burial location for Hannah or Jonathan.
