On 30 Sep 1674 when Hannah was 18, she married Samuel Richardson (8291) , son of Samuel Richardson (2915) (ca 1604-23 Mar 1658) & Joanna Thake (ca 1606-20 Jun 1666), in Woburn, MA.124 Born on 22 May 1646 in Woburn, MA.124 Samuel died in Woburn, MA, on 29 Apr 1712; he was 65.124 Buried in First Burial Ground of Woburn. “Here lyes ye body of Mr. Samuel Richardson, aged 66 years, died April ye 29th, 1712”.

From the Richardson Memorial:279
        “Samuel Richardson lived upon what has recently [1876] been called the Miller farm, on Richardson’s Row, less than a mile north of the present village of Winchester.  He was a soldier in ‘Philip's war,’ 1675. In the afternoon of April 10, 1676, he was employed in carting manure into his field, accompanied by his son Samuel, a boy between five and six years old.  Looking toward his house, he was surprised at seeing feathers flying about it and other tokens of mischief within.  He also heard the screams of his wife. Apprehending that Indians might be there, he hastened home with his gun, and there found two of his family murdered, viz., his wife Hannah, who had lately been confined, and his son Thomas, twin brother to him who had been with him in the field. On further search, it was found that the infant, only a week old, had been slain by the same ruthless hands. The nurse, it appeared, had snatched it up in her arms upon the alarm of danger, and was making her escape to a garrison house in the vicinity; but so closely was she pursued by the savages, that, finding she could not save herself and the babe too, she let the babe drop, and the Indians dispatched it at once.  Mr. Richardson now rallied some of his neighbors, who went with him in pursuit of the enemy.  Following them some time, they espied three Indians sitting on a rock, fired at them, killed one, and drove the others away.  [Sewalls Hist. of Woburn, p. 119.]
    “His will is dated Feb. 23, 1709-10; proved May 19, 1712; recorded Midd. Prob. Rec., xiii. 68.  He mentions wife Sarah, eldest son Samuel, daughter Elizabeth Wyman, wife of Jacob Wyman, son Zachariah, daughter Sarah Richardson, daughter Hannah Pratt, sons Ebenezer, Eleazar, David, Thomas, and Jonathan, the last being a minor.  He speaks of his brother Stephen and of John Vinton, their land as bordering on his own; of Joseph Richardson, jr., also, and Stephen Richardson, Jr., as his cousins, that is, nephews.”

On 13 Sep 1680 when Elizabeth was 22, she married John Cummings (10248) , son of John Cummings (3432) (ca 1630-1 Dec 1700) & Sarah Howlett (5796) (3 Mar 1633/4-7 Dec 1700), in Dunstable, MA.17 Born ca 1656/7 in Dunstable, MA.

From the Cummings Memorial:149
    “He is probably the Jolm who is designated as ‘Serg't Cummings,’ and was one of a small garrison in Dunstable established Dec. 25, 1702, under command of Lt. Col. Jonathan Tyng. It is usually stated that it was the garrison at his own house which was assaulted, July 3, 1706, by a party of two hundred Mohawk Indians. His house stood on the right hand of the road from Dunstable to the present town of Tyngsborough, about a half mile from the former place. The stories of the attack are not harmonious in all particulars. It seems to be agreed that there was a company of soldiers in the garrison at the time and that they were surprised. ‘At sunset a Mr. Cummings and his wife went out to milk their cows and left the gate open. The Indians who had advanced undiscovered, started up, shot Mrs .Cummings dead (‘Goody Cummings died July 3, 1706, at night.’) upon the spot, and wounded her husband who had his arm broken, but was so fortunate as to reach the woods while the Indians were engaged in the house. That night he lay in a swamp in the northerly part of Tyngsborough, about a quarter of a mile west of the great road, and a few rods south of the state line. The next day he arrixed at the garrisor. near Tyngsborough Village." (I. N. H. Hist. Coll. 133.) He is spoken of as selectman in 1711 and in the same year the house of Mr. John Cummings was reported as one of seven fortified houses in Dunstable, having two families, two males, two soldiers, and twenty-one persons in all. ‘Sarg't Cummings & Henry Farwell were deputed in 1717, Jan. 1O, by vote of the town to get a minister as soon as they can.’ May 20th, 1725, after the sad occasion of Capt. Lovewell’s defeat, both John Cummings and John Cummings Jr. joined with the Selectmen and other citizens in petitioning the Governor and Council of Mass. for protection in the defenceless condition of the community. The question arises whether the elder John had remarried. It is on record that ‘John Cummings of Groton, weaver, and wife Elisabeth, widow of John Sollendino, sold land in Groton, 1732.’ Sollendino was married 1679-80, to Elisabeth Usher, said to be the first marriage in Dunstable. He was a carpenter and helped build the meetinghouse in 1677 and a bridge over Salmon Creek, 1699. His house was one of seven garrisons in 1711.”

Samuel married Mary Washburn (19352) , daughter of John Washburn (ca 1620-12 Nov 1686) & Elizabeth Mitchell (6983) (ca 1628-bet 1681 and 1684). Born ca 1661 in Duxbury or Bridgewater, Massachusetts. Mary died in Norton, MA 27 Feb 1741/2.
