General Notes: Wife - Hannah Becraft

---

NOTE: The spelling of the Severy surname is highly variable as is Hannah's maiden name, Becraft. Her middle name may have been a variant of Ursulla, based on one census where she appears under that name, but she also appears with the middle initial "A." in one census and as "Percilla" in another.

Hannah was a daughter of John Becraft and Irena Bolton. She married William Severy. They had seven children.
