Seeking information about the following:

Thomas HARRISON, Currier, a native of Market Harborough in Leicestershire, made his will in Philadelphia, PA, in 1793.

In it he named his "...cousin Hannah (daughter of late uncle Thomas LOAKE)."

This was almost certainly Thomas LOAKE, of Desborough, Northants, will dated 16 Apr 1785, pr P.C.C. 3 Nov 1785, in which he named the following:
1. My son John LOAKE.
2. My grandson Thomas LOAKE, eldest son of my son Thomas LOAKE.
3. My daughter Hannah LOAKE, appointed sole ex'or.
The will was proved by Hannnah LOAKE, Spinster, the daughter & ex'or.

The I.G.I. records the baptism in Desborough, in 1760, of Hannah, daur of Thomas & Hannah LOAKE.
There was a marriage, between Thomas LOAKE & Hannah PARKER, at Great Oxenden, Northants, 10 Oct 1739, although this was perhaps too early for the 1760 baptism.

The I.G.I. also records a marriage in Desborough, 26 Nov 1772, between Thomas LOAKE & Ann CAVE, probably the son.

Any information concerning the identity of Hannah's mother, presumably the connection to the HARRISONs of Market Harborough, would be most welcome.
