Died	1759 (aged 28–29)
Spouse	Issac Axford ​ (m. 1753)​
Parents	Matthew Lightfoot (father) Mary Wheeler (mother)

Hannah Lightfoot (12 October 1730 – before December 1759), known as "The Fair Quaker", was a Quaker in Westminster.^[1] She married Isaac Axford in December 1753 but, before the end of the following year, had disappeared. Later gossip, originally in amusement and ridicule, first noted in print in 1770, but much embroidered in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries linked her name, although some eight years his senior, with the extremely shy fifteen-year-old Prince George. Prince George became King George III in 1760 and was known to admire the simplicity of the Quakers. After George's death, rumours circulated that he had engineered her abduction, married and had children by her. However, no contemporary source connecting the Prince and Hannah has ever been found.^[2][3]
