4) NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):
Margaret Horton Weiler wrote a periodical article "Descendants of John Haughton (Horton) of Eastham" for the Cape Cod Genealogical Society bulletin[1] and she also wrote the book Descendants of John Horton of Boston, Massachusetts and New London, Connecticut, through his son, Samuel Horton of Eastham, Massachusetts[2]. The sketch for John Horton/Haughton included:
"John Horton (Haughton) lived in Boston, MA with his wife, Hannah, perhaps the Hannah Harden, daughter of Joseph and Mary Long, who died in Boston 7 Jan 1690."
The two resources indicate that the Hannah Harden who died in 1690 might be the daughter of Joseph and Mary Long, but did not have the Horton or Haughton surname. Harden is another possibility, but there is no authoritative evidence.
Since John Haughton was born in about 1647, it is likely that Hannah --?-- was born about 1650, perhaps in Boston.
John married Hannah --?-- in about 1675, perhaps in Boston. There is no known record that provides Hannah's name at the time of marriage. They had four children, all were probably born in Boston, and Samuel's birth was recorded there:
* Hopestill Horton (1677-1734), married 1698 Ebenezer Snow (1680-1725).
* Dorothy Horton (1680-1738), married 1701 David Doane (1674-1748).
* Samuel Horton (1686-1778), married 1714 Hannah Atwood (1686-1771).
* John Horton (1688-1710).
It is likely that John Haughton moved his family to Eastham, Massachusetts in or before about 1690, and that is where daughters Hopestill and Dorothy, and son Samuel, married and made their home, and son John died there in 1710.
Hannah may have died between 1688 and about 1694, when John married again to Ruth Browne of Boston.
There are no known death or burial records for Hannah (--?--) Haughton/Horton in Massachusetts records.
