Hannah Carr was born 13 October 1691 in Jamestown, Rhode Island, the daughter of Edward and Hannah (Stanton) Carr[1-2,4].
Hannah Carr married, first, Samuel Slocum (1666-1741) in January 1708 in Jamestown, Rhode Island[1-3]. He was the son of Ebenezer and Mary (Thurston) Slocum. They had at least ten children, the first six were recorded in Jamestown town records:
* Mary Slocum (1708-1708).
* Hannah Slocum (1710-1737), married 1727 Thomas Hazard (1707-1748).
* Samuel Slocum (1711-1775), married 1733 Ann Gould (1714-1746).
* Ebenezer Slocum (1714-1715).
* Ebenezer Slocum (1716-????), married 1738 Mary (Cary) Northup (1722-????).
* Edward Slocum (1718-1718).

* William Slocum (1722-1774), married 1748 Sarah Tarbox (1726-1802).
* Maria Slocum (1724-????).
* John Slocum (1732-1756).
Hannah's father, Edward Carr, yeoman of Jamestown, died testate, having written a will dated 22 December 1711, which was proved 22 January 1712[6]. In his will he bequeathed to his daughter Hannah:
"Item, I give to my daughter Hannah Slocum Five Pounds current money to be paid to her within two years after my decease by my executrix and executor hereafter named, besides what I have already given her."
The Samuel Slocum family resided in Jamestown and removed to North Kingstown, Rhode Island, before 1720. Samuel Slocum died before 4 April 1741, when his administration was filed in Jamestown town records[3].
Hannah married, second, as his second wife, Samuel Watson (1686-1779) after 1741 in Jamestown[5]. They had no children. In Hannah's mother's 1752 will, she is called "Hannah Watson, wife of Samuel Watson," while her son, John Slocum, mentions "my Antient and honored mother, Hannah Watson."
Hannah may have died in 1785, probably in Jamestown. There is a Find A Grave memorial for her, but there is no burial information.
