Individual Details
John Danforth
(3 Jun 1703 - Dec 1737)
In the will, daughter Hannah is described as living in Lexington. Father-in-law John Johnson is named executor.
In 1735, daughter Hannah in the 14th year of her age was placed in the guardianship of Joseph Loring. So, she was born about 1721 so may not be from this marriage -- maybe an out-of-wedlock child he took responsibility for? Hannah is described in her guardianship packet as a granddaughter of Jonathan Poulter, so probably an out-of-wedlock child with a Poulter.
