  - name possibly spelled "Houl" - ?? other possible parents -- Thomas Howell 1642-1702 & Mary English 1656-1732 ?? - ** will under name Hannah English ** ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Found at http://takingthelongerview.org/index.php/author/takinglonger/page/3/ In 1712 Hannah married Henry English at Byberry Meeting. He was a widower, a Quaker, and a resident of Byberry. They had no children together. Before they were married, Henry gave her 124 acres “in consideration of the love and good will and affection which he had and did bear towards his loving friend Hannah Hibbs.”11 Hannah died in 1737. In her will, made as Hannah English, she named her children Sarah, Phebe, Jeremiah, Joseph and William, as well as two namesake granddaughters. She gave her sidesaddle to her granddaughter Hannah Cooper and her “pilers” (pillows) to her granddaughter Hannah Hibbs. She left her clothing to daughters Sarah and Phebe (the brown gown and petticoat and riding hood and bonnet), her bed and bolster and bedding to Phebe, and residue of property to sons Joseph and William and son-in-law Jonathan Cooper. She specified that her Negro servant Trail should be set free, to have his own mare and scythe and ox, and enough wool to make him a coat and waistcoat and britches.12 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- found at https://sites.rootsweb.com/~paxson/balderston/Hibbs.html Hannah married secondly, in 1712, Henry ENGLISH, whose farm lay southeast of the Hibbs's. Before they were married, in March 1711/2, Henry had made a deed of his property to her, "in consideration of the love, good-will and affection which he had and did bear toward his loving friend, Hannah Hibbs." Henry died about 1724. They had no children.[18] Hannah's will was written 13 June 1737 and probated 30 August 1737. She listed her daughters Sarah Cooper and Phobey BLICOR [sic: Blaker], and youngest son Jeremiah. Executors were her sons Joseph and William Hibbs.[19] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- found at findagrave.com on 7/17/2023 Hannah Hibbs Birth: 11 Nov 1662 Death: unknown Burial: Burial Details Unknown.
