Surname Saturday -- LNU (Hannah, who married Thomas Graves, England to colonial Massachusetts)

It's Surname Saturday, and I'm "counting down" my Ancestral Name List each week.

I am working in the 9th great-grandmothers by Ahnentafel number, and I am up to Ancestor #2505 who is Hannah LNU (1623-1665). [Note: the more recent ancestral families have been covered in earlier posts.]

My ancestral line back through two generations in this MOUSALL family line is:

1. Randall J. Seaver

2. Frederick Walton Seaver (1911-1983)
3. Betty Virginia Carringer (1919-2002)

4. Frederick Walton Seaver (1876-1942)
5. Alma Bessie Richmond (1882-1962)

8. Frank Walton Seaver (1852-1922)
9. Hattie Louise Hildreth (1857-1920)

18.  Edward Hildreth (1831-1899)
19.  Sophia Newton (1834-1923)

38.  Thomas J. Newton (1800-????)
39.  Sophia Buck (1797-1882)


78.  Isaac Buck (1757-1846)

79.  Martha Phillips (1757-1830)

156.  Isaac Buck (1732-????)
157.  Mary Richards (1733-????).

312.  Isaac Buck (1706-1780)
313.  Ruth Graves (1711-????)

626. Thomas Graves (1686-1756

627.  Ruth Collins (1685-1715)

1252.  Samuel Graves (1655-1723)
1253.  Sarah Brewer (1659-1723)

2504.  Thomas Graves, born about 1620 in England; died 24 January 1697 in Lynn, Essex, Massachusetts, United States.  He was the son of 5008. Samuel Graves and 5009. Sarah LNU.  He married before 1643 in probably Lynn, Essex, Massachusetts, United States.
2505.  Hannah LNU, born about 1623 in England; died 20 February 1665 in Lynn, Essex, Massachusetts, United States.

Children of Thomas Graves and Hannah are:
*  Amy Graves (1643-1697), married (1) 1665 Richard Richardson (1639-1681); (2) 1682 John Lindsay (1640-1705).
*  Hannah Graves (1645-????), married 1666 William Smith (1645-1675).
*  Mark Graves (1650-1730), married 1672 Rebecca LNU (1654-????).
*  Thomas Graves (1653-????).
Samuel Graves (1655-1723), married 1678 Sarah Brewer (1659-1723).
*  Ann Graves (1658-1736), married 1678 Joshua Rhodes (1646-1725).
*  Sarah Graves (1660-1724), married 1680 Samuel Leighton (1655-1729).
*  Elizabeth Graves (1662-????), married 1682 Thomas Brewer (1659-1709).

I have found no reliable resources that identify Hannah LNU's parents or birth information.  The FamilySearch Family Tree says her maiden surname was Simmons, but provides no further information on birth or parents.

Information about this Graves family was obtained from:
*  Kenneth Vance Graves, Samuel Graves 1630 Settler of Lynn MA and his Descendants (Wrentham, Mass.:Family History Publications, 1985).

*  Marcia Wiswall Lindberg,  "Three Graves Families, Thomas Graves of Lynn, Mass., Mark Graves of Andover and Samuel Graves of Ipswich," The Essex Genealogist, Volume 20, Number 4, November 2000. 

I have done no original research on this Graves line.
