Hannah Daggett 1796
1796 - 1871
Twin daughters were born to Levi and Keziah Peck Daggett on January 19, 1796 and they were named Hannah and Betsey. Hannah is our ancestor.
The Daggett family lived on the family homestead, land which had been tilled by their family for more than one hundred years, the sam land that her father Levi and grand father John fought for in the Revolutionary War. She grew up in the country, a farmer's daughter.
Hannah married for the first time on September 7, 1817 in Seekonk, MA. She was twenty one and Joseph Cole Jr., her groom, was thirty years of age.Hannah's brother John married Amey Cole, Joseph's sister. Joseph and his bride settled in Seekonk. Four children were born to them three sons and one daughter.
It appears that she and Joseph were divorced sometime before 1830, and Hannah remarried, this time to Joseph's older brother, Thomas. They settled in the same town, and raised a family of five children.
Her first husband Joseph, who was our ancestor, died in Seekonk on October 18,1865. Hannah, widow of Thomas, was living at 359 Pine Street in Providence at the time of her death on October 30, 1871. She was seventy five. I do not know where she or Joseph are buried.
