Ann Hammond was baptized in Lavenham, Suffolk, England on 14 Jul 1616,
daughter of William Hammond. (1) Her father died in Watertown in 1662 and
named his daughter "Barnes" in his will, which is assumed to be Ann Hammon
Barron. (2) She married Timothy Hawkins before 1736 as her first child was
born 10 Jun 1637. She had at least three children with Timothy
Hawkins and then he died 27 Sep 1651. Her youngest daughter, Mehitable, was
probably an infant. After the death her her first husband, she remarried to
Ellis Barron in Watertown on 14 Dec 1653. Apparently it was a triple
wedding ceremony with Ellis Barron Sr. marrying Hannah Hammond; his son Ellis
Barron Jr. marrying Hannah Hawkins, a daughter of Hannah Hammond; and
Susannah Barron a daughter of Ellis Barron Sr. marrying Stephen Randall.
(3) A few months later on 27 Apr 1654 Ellis Barron took on the care of her
daughter, Mehitable Hawkins. (4)
After they had been married for
about 20 years, her daughter Hannah died on 3 Jan 1674. The next year her
daughter Mehitable died on 9 Dec 1675 and her husband, Ellis Barron, died a year
after that on 30 Oct 1676. Hannah lived another 12 years. She wrote
her will on 18 Aug 1683 naming her son Timothy Hawkins and his daughter Mary
Hawkins. She also bequeathed to the children of her daughter Hannah Barron:
Elizabeth, Timothy, Hannah, Sary, Grace and Mehettabel. She also
named her son-in-law Benjamin Garfield and his children Benjamin and Benoni
Garfield. Her "late husband" was Ellis Barron. (5)
According to her
tombstone, Hannah Hammond Hawkins Barron died 1 Sep 1685 at the age of 69. (6)

There was only one record of an Ellis Barron marrying an Hannah Hawkins, but the most likely scenario is that there were two such marriages on that same day since a daughter of Ellis Barron was also marrying on the same day.
