Hannah FISH, wife of Frederick DENISON

Hannah FISH was the daughter of Nathan FISH, Jr. and his wife Catherine HELME. Hannah was born 3 Aug 1764 in Groton and died 22 Feb 1847, she married Frederick DENISON 19 August 1789 in Groton.

This woman is the AUNT of Hannah FISH (1792-1815 unmarried daughter of Dea. Sands FISH and his wife Bridget GALLUP) buried in the Old Fish Burying Ground.

Notice the wording on this stone. Her husband's stone probably had similar ("matching") wording.

"Sacred
to
the memory of
HANNAH.
widow of
Frederick Denison
who died
Feb. 22, 1847
Aged 82 years"
