Essex / Re: Bott - West Mersea

Hi Essbee,
I found two Hannah Webbs on newfamilysearch.org, one chr. 24 Jul 1692 in West Mersea,Essex, the other chr. 1703 in Colchester Quaker-Nc, Essex. Newfamilysearch has the 1692 one married to a Matthias Courtnell in 1723 in Colchester. but I think this may be incorrect. I think it more likely that the 1692 Hannah is married to our Samuel Bott (married in 1715 aged 23, first child born 1716) and the 1703 Hannah married to Matthias Courtnell (in 1723 aged 20)
If it were the other way round then Hannah 1703 would only be 12 when she married in 1715 and age 13 when the first child was born. Not totally impossible but unlikely.
If I'm right then newfamilysearch has given us several more generations back.
What do you think?
Regards, Robin
