BirthJan 7, 1675Boston, Suffolk Co., MA, USA1,2
MarriageNewton, Long Island, Queens, NY, USA, Philip Mershon: a record of her marriage to Henry Mershon (French spelling Henri Marchand) on Long Island, NY. This was probably before 1698 as they were living in Maidenhead (now known as Lawrenceville), NJ at that time; MLM: Ann ___3,4,5
BurialPresbyterian Church Cemetery, Lawrenceville, NJ, USA5
DeathOct, 1738Princeton, Mercer Co., NJ, USA, Philip Mershon, 2008: died sometime after September 20, 1738, as she is listed in her husband's will as "my wife Ann."3,5,6
ResearchPhilip Mershon, 2008: It appears that Hannah's parents were Robert Haughton(1642-78) and Sarah Phippen (1649-1712) both from Boston, Mass., although the other source records name John Houghton and Dina Phillips. Robert Haughton's parents were Richard Haughton (1614-82, of Boston, and later Hartford, CT) and a different Sarah Phippen (1624-50, of Boston). (It appears that the elder Sarah's father was the son of the younger Sarah's grandfather.) Richard Haughton's father was listed as Henry Haughton, with no other information given.6

OccupationLondon, England, both fishmonger and haberdasher given; "A pedigree of the same family may be found in the Visitation of London, published by the Harleian Society (vol. xv. p. 369). In the latter Francis Norton is called a haberdahser, which is more probably correct, if we may judge from the character of his inventory as shown in the Middlesex Records, he being the the well known Capt. Francis Norton, who was admitted into the chruch of Charlestown, Mass., 10-2-1642, and died in Charlestown, 27 July, 1667. He left no male issue, but has probably many descendants in New England through his daughters..."4
