Hannah was probably born c.1744[1]. She married William King c.1763[2], probably at Elizabeth City County, Virginia where they resided the rest of their lives. They had at least 7 children[3]. By late 1794 William had become incapacitated or untrustworthy in some way[4], dying shortly before 22 Mar 1796 when Hannah wrote her will[5]. She died within the month as her will was probated at Elizabeth City County 28 Apr 1796[6].
The identity of her parents is not known. No evidence has been found that her maiden name was Curle — an early suggestion probably confusing her with her mother-in-law. No trace of her has been found in the Herbert family either, though it's been noted she had a granddaughter named Hannah Herbert King. Colonial Virginia naming conventions suggest her father might have been named Thomas as it appears her eldest son was Thomas King. Hannah was far too young to have been the daughter of Thomas Curle (c.1640–1700), or his son Thomas Curle (b.say1688).
