Notes for Hannah CLARK

She was widow of John Squire at time of her second marriage to David Ross. She married, (3) 4 Jan 1797 at Westfield (as widow Hannah Ross), Matthias Hatfield. She died at home of her son, Jonathan Squire, in Rahway.
See also Ross Family, pg. 13; Desc. of Matthias Hatfield, page 69. She is said to be the daughter of Daniel Clark, but which Daniel Clark we are not certain, and her placement here is not really documented.
Honeyman, Hist. Union County, II, page 40 has her marriages out of order.

This Information was taken from a Family Bible which is still in the posession of the Squier family.
The founder and settler of this branch of the family came from Petersboro, Northampton county, England. He first landed in New England, and settled in Massachusetts, whence Ellis Squier came and settled in what became known as the village of
