J4. Hannah Bourn born ____

Hannah ____ was born in about 1721.¹

She died in February 1793, and her body was buried in Grave 12M of the Billingshurst General Baptist. The gravestone recorded:

Spectator pray remember this

How frail . . . . . . thy life

a sudden stroke as death gave me

with . . . . . . may counsel thee.³

Suggestions for further research

Self-evidently, no progress can be made on this line until (J3) Richard Bourn's marriage is found, after which Hannah's birth or baptism can be sought for.
