Hannah Morley was born on July 6, 1711 to William Morley and his wife, Hannah, in Chatteris, England.

Hannah is known to move north, from the Fens of England in Chatteris to Sherwood Forest and the village of Calverton when she marries Abraham Wood sometime before 1734. The two have at least one child together. Unfortunately, there are no records to follow her trail to know how she moved. However, one can speculate that as Chatteris was a market town and Calverton produced woven goods and other handicraft items that Abraham may have met her by attending the market held in her hometown. As weaving seems to be a passed on occupation within the family, it may be that Abraham's family were weavers. It is known that a man from Calverton, William Lee, invented the frame knitting machine. This is the same type of machine that generations of this family used and passed the knowledge of this use to their children and grandchildren, as well as apprentices.

Abraham and Hannah produce one child, Hannah Wood (1734-unknown). Hannah Wood will marry John Knowles and they will have a daughter, Ruth.
