Notes for Nathan BRACKETT
!NAME: Brackett and Brackett are often seen in family records. It appears to be a correct conclusion, based on Upton MA records, that the lack of the extra t, or its presence, occurs in the same immediate family.

Notes for Hannah (Spouse 1)
!Source: International Genealogical Index. NOTE: This is NOT the Hannah Owen described by AFN 508T-44. That person (a cousin) died young.

!Note: The above sources place this Hannah in the wrong Owen/Owens family (that of Nathaniel, Jr., Benjamin's brother. Nathaniel Jr. and his wife Deborah Parmenter had two daughters named Hannah, both of whom died young, and another daughter named Anna, who also died young. "Owen Source Book", Part 1, by Charles Owen Johnson (1988), p. 19 shows the first Hannah, dau. Nathaniel, died 17 Feb 1721, and Anna died 23 Dec 1728. Sprague (below) shows first Hannah, dau. Nathaniel, b. 13 Nov 1720, d. 17 Feb 1721., second Hannah, also dau. Nathaniel, b. 7 Sep 1723, d. Jan 7, 1724, with a "?" next to death date, and Anna, dau. Nathaniel, b. 28 Oct 1728, d. 23 Dec 1728. 5 of this couple's 9 children d.y., adult records are shown for only 3 (Abigail, Mary, and Deborah).

!Source: "Brackett Genealogy" by Herbert I. Brackett (1907). LC Microfilm No. 87/7402(C). Note that this indicates that she was probably the daughter of Nathaniel Owen and his wife Deborah (Parmenter) and was born 3 Nov 1720. This is refuted by Sprague (above) and extant Braintree town records, which indicate that that Hannah died about 1724 or so.
