Hannah Lincoln (1773–1828) was a daughter of General Benjamin Lincoln and Mary Cushing of Hingham, Massachusetts. In 1791 she married Abner Lincoln, Derby Academy’s first preceptor and a trustee. Their family included Hannah Fearing, Mary Otis, Elizabeth Cushing and William Shattuck Lincoln. Derby’s history confirms the marriage, and a historical society grave record identifies her parents and husband. Her own life beyond these family records remains little documented.
