Did she arrive in MA just because one can't find a death record in Ware? If that's the sole rationale for her being alive to sail the pod to New England, it's not a good one. There's no death record for her in Roxbury records either. Hannah's not found arriving with her father here: https://www.geni.com/projects/Great-Migration-Passengers-of-the-Arb... . Her father and stepmother's departure port was at Yarmouth, Hampshire, England (Isle of Wight) – 134 miles from Ware.

If she sailed the pond, she would've come with guardians on a later departing ship that didn't keep a list of passengers or the list was ruined long ago.

Douglas Richard's 1992 mention of Hannah is only correct about the place of Hannah's baptism and her parents. The rest of what he write is now viewed as disproved musings.

Anderson's Great Migration 1995 edition mentions Hannah thus:
"HANNAH, bp. Ware 23 March 1627/8; no further record unless she is the wife of Hugh Burt, above."
In other words, Sarah would have to be disproved as having married, first, Hugh Burt, Jr. .
