Hannah Rosbotham

Notes:

Hannah lived sixteen years after the death of her husband, but John had provided for her by stipulating that their son, Joseph, whould inherit the family farm if he would care for Hannah for the rest of her days. Hannah's death is recorded in the 18 Jul 1809 issue of "The Providence Phoenix." It reads:

"Mrs. Hannah Munro, widow of John and granddaughter of Colonel Benujamin Church, died at Rehoboth, aged 98 years. She had 13 children, 93 grand children, 161 great-grandchildren, and 22 great-great grand children - in all 289."

She was buried in the family cemetery on the farm where she lived most of her life.

The following is from "Munro Family" by E.W. Wait via the Beckett reference.

"Hannah Rosbotham, John Munroe's wife, was born in Bristol on June 20, 1711, the daughter of Captain Joseph and Elizabeth (Church) Rosbotham, As there are no previous occurences of that odd name in New England, I am inclined to think that Captain Rosbotham was a sea-faring man who sailed in and out of the flourishing port of Bristol, that he settled down long enough to marry and have four children - Hannah being the youngest - and that between 1711 and 1717, when his widow remarried, he was lost at sea."

The following is from "Munro Family" by E.W. Wait via the Beckett reference.

"Elizabeth Church was the daughter of the famous Indian fighter, Benjamin Church, who was the first white man to settle at Sakonnet (Little Compton) and later moved to Bristol. He was directly responsible for bringing the bitter war with King Philip to an end. He wrote an account of his military career, abbreviatedly called ENTERTAINING PASSAGES, which was published in 1716; and he has been made a leading character in a book of historical fiction by Noel B. Gerson, entitled SAVAGE GENTLEMAN."
