Historians have disagreed over Hannah's marriage, Rev Abner Morse (Morse Family Genealogy) having married her to Samuel Wells of Glastonbury, CT, and Hudson (History Of Marlborough p. 357) concurring with Morse that Gershom Eames married Hannah Johnson, daughter of Solomon and Hannah Johnson. The Sudbury records show the birth of a Hannah, daughter of Solomon Johnson Jr., but she would have been only 14 years old when Gershom Eames married Hannah Brigham. Paige ( History of Cambridge MA pp. 501-2) corrects these errors and documents the facts. . Paige first quotes two Massachusetts public records; one wherein her name is given as Hannah Ward and another where William Ward, her husband, joins with Thomas, John, and Samuel Brigham, in 1681, in conveying to Nicholas Fessenden certain of the Thomas Brigham land in Cambridge. Paige continues: "I do not find any Hannah Ward in that town who could represent herself as a daughter of Thomas Brigham, except the wife of William Ward, who united with the Brighams in the sale of the Cambridge land. This Hannah had been the wife of Gershom Eames; and is supposed by her descendant, Andrew H. Ward (History of Shrewsbury p. 457) to have been a daughter of Samuel Johnson of Sudbury. It is most likely that Thomas Brigham was her father, and that John Brigham, who witnessed the execution of her will, 30 Oct 1714, was her brother.
Hannah had two children with Gershom Eames, Hannah and a posthumous daughter, Mary. She lived in Marlborough both before and after her marriage to Mr. Ward, although she probably accompanied her first husband to Watertown at the time of King Philip's War.
Hanna had four children with William Ward. In 1709, the second, Elisha, was killed or kidnapped by the Indians in Worcester while riding post from Marlborough to Hadlev. In her will, executed 30 Oct., 1714, she makes a sad reference to the his unknown fate. "and if Elisha shall ever come again that my executor pay him twenty shillings"
