  BIRTH-DEATH-BIOGRAPHY: Samuel Pearce May, THE DESCENDANTS OF RICHARD SARES(SEARS) OF YARMOUTH, MASS; 1638-1888; Albany, Joel Munsell's Sons, 1890; p 67; NEHGS Library, Boston, MA; May is evidently mistaken when he shows in his hand-notes that Hannah was the dau of Benjm and Mehitable (Matthews) Hall of Harwich because the Hall and Nickerson genealogies indicate that Hannah m.
  Samuel Nickerson. She d. 28 Jul 1753, in 73 yr, gr-st. She was adm Ch, har, 21 Mar 1708, to 2d Ch, Yar, 6 Aug 1727.
  
  PARENTS: Letter from Robert Townsend, Honolulu, HI, to Ray Sears;
  1690-1819; Letter dtd 25 Feb 1995; ; in poss of Ray Sears; I have a few
  corrections and additions to your book! The Halls of New England by Rev David
  B Hall (1883) p. 216 says this Hannah (parents Benj and Mehitable Hall)
  "according to tradition m. Mr Nickerson of Harwich."
  The Nickerson Family Genealogy, Vol I, p 27 says that Hannah, dau of Benj and
  Mehitable hall was b. Yarmouth, 20 Feb 1690 and m. abt 1707 Samuel Nickerson.
  Their children include... The children's names tie that Hannah to Samuel.
  My best guess if this Hannah is dau of John and Priscilla (Bearse) Hall, simply
  because Joseph Sears and wife Hannah named their first dau Priscilla. However,
  I haven't been able to verify this, so it's still a mystery.
