  • Hannah Fiske Platts was born on December 21, 1697 in Ipswich, Essex County, Massachusetts. Her parents were Joseph Fiske and Susannah Warner.

    She married James Platts of Rowley on October 29, 1720. James was born on April 20, 1696 in Rowley, Essex County, Massachusetts. His parents were Sergeant John Platts and Judith Foster.

    Their children were James Platts (1721) and Mark Platts (1722).

    Hannah died on September 28, 1723 in Rowley when she was only 25 years old. Hannah probably died due to childbirth complications.

    After she died, James married Mercy Wheeler on June 25, 1725.

    Mercy died November 11, 1753.

    The town of Ipswich was established on August 5, 1634, from common land called Agawam.

    Between 1 and 1.5 percent of births ended in the mother's death. Since the average woman gave birth to five to eight children, her lifetime chance of dying in childbirth was quite high.
