Hannah Tyler
Hannah Tyler was born at Boxford, Massachusetts, on 5 June 1710. She was the youngest of the six children of Job Tyler and Margaret Bradstreet. Her mother was a daughter of Col. Dudley Bradstreet of Andover and a granddaughter of Gov. Simon Bradstreet and his wife Anne, the poet. The descent is printed in Willard Brigham's Tyler Genealogy (1912).
In October 1728, at eighteen, she married Capt. John Spafford of Rowley. The Boxford records carry the intention, the public notice of a coming marriage: "Hannah [Tiller], and John Spofford of Rowley, int. Oct. 27, 1728." Her husband had built a house the year before on "the hill" in Georgetown, then part of Rowley, and they lived in it about ten years.
Her first child, Eunice, was born on 15 September 1729 "at Boxford, in the Bay Province". Bradstreet followed on 2 September 1731, named for her mother's family. Phebe was born in 1733, Peggy on 30 June 1735, Asa in 1737 and Mary in 1739, all at Rowley, and Abigail in 1741.
The family then went north to No. 4, the frontier settlement on the Connecticut River that became Charlestown, New Hampshire. Her husband built its first saw-mill and corn-mill, and her daughter Relief was born there on 30 June 1744.
On 19 April 1746 raiders burned the mills and carried her husband off to Canada. She then had eight children, the youngest not yet two. She escaped from No. 4 to her friends, by the church note on her daughter Relief. Her next child, Harriet, was born at Leominster on 30 January 1747, "at a time when No. 4 was deserted". Her husband came home on 16 August 1747.
Two more sons followed. The first was Job Tyler, named for her father, born on 14 March 1749. He died on 15 June 1750. Tyler was born on 28 April 1752.
Her daughter Phebe married John Grout of Lunenburg in 1750. Peggy married Benjamin Allen in 1751, at sixteen, and Bradstreet married Mary Page of Lunenburg in 1752. In April 1757 her son Asa was taken prisoner at Charlestown by French and Indians, and died of smallpox at Quebec on his way home. Relief died in October 1758, at fourteen. Tyler served in the Revolution and died at Lennoxville, Canada, in 1844.
Her death is not recorded in the family genealogies or the town history.
