Larry,
Your information is not entirely consistent with the information on Hannah on page 119 - 122 of the 1930 book "The Coggeshalls in America."
Elizabeth Gardener, daughter of Sylvanus and Hannah Gardener, was the second wife of Tristram Coggeshall (and there is about a page of information on Tristram and his 2 wives, including his service as a merchant sailor during the Revolutionary War, later escaping British capture during the war. ". . . he was escorted to a settlement in Virginia, were in time he married {first wife}. A few years after he moved to Surry, now Yadkin County, NC, where he remained until 1817, when he emigrated with his large family of children {7 by his first wife and 3 by his second -- all but Hannah -- who was his last child} to Wayne County, IN, where he passed the remainder of his life . . ."
"Hannah Coggeshall, b Wayne County, IN, 7-22-1818, d Grant County, IN 8-9-1873; m (1) Wayne County, 1850, William Jones, son of Thomas and Margarett Jones. We was born 1809; died Grant County, IN 6-16-1855. She married (2) Grant County, IN, Feb 1860, Jesse Wright. He was born 3-22-1810; died 8-8-1899 (no issue)."
"Issue by first husband:
- Tristram, b Grant County, IN, Oct, 1852; d Grant County, IN, Sept 1853.
- Antoinette, b Grant county, IN, 5-28-1854; d 8-30-1907; m Grant County, IN, 7-4-1875, Albert Stuart, son of Samuel and Hannah Stuart. He was born 5-14-1844."
That is all this book has on Hannah. There is a good deal more on Tristram Coggeshall and his ancestors.

Subject: [COGGESHALL] Hannah Coggeshall, Grant County, Indiana 1818-1875
I'm trying to develop a thin lead that has Hannah Coggeshall marrying
William Jones in Wayne County, Indiana in 1850. Hannah was born in North Carolina
on July 22, 1818 to Tristram Coggeshall and Elizabeth Gardner. Hannah and
William had children Tristram (b. October 1852 in Grant County, Indiana; d.
1853 in Grant County, Indiana) and Antoinette (b. 1844 in Grant County, Indiana;
m. Albert Stuart 1875 in Grant County, Indiana).
This William Jones is my brickwall. He was married prior to Hannah, to
Nancy Lightfoot.
I'm looking for anyone who has information to share about this line. Thanks.
