Hannah was a widow for about 6 years before she married Josiah Ober and moved to Wenham. She had two children and he had four or five, and each had a son named Nathaniel. They had four children of their own, although one died as a baby. The First Church of Wenham has a record of the wife of Josiah Ober dying in July 1796, and process of elimination makes it very likely to have been Hannah. She is probably buried in the old cemetery in that town, although neither she or Josiah, who died the next year, have gravestones.

sources for vital records: Her birth and first marriage are recorded in the published Manchester, MA, vital records. Her second marriage is from the published Wenham, MA, vital records, p. 149.
