Hannah Simmons is identified as the mother of Mary Franklin Cummings in the Tioga Co. Pa. Death records. [FHL#974.856 V2L p.30]

There is a Hannah Simmons b. 2 May 1752 to Nathan Simmons and Sarah Balkam in Windham, CT Vital Records but she appears to have married Hezekiah Linkon 2 Feb 1771

Jonathan Simons b.1759 New London, CT d.1847 Arkwright, NY. He was son of Joseph Simons and Mercy Bill and named a daughter Hannah ( possibly after his sister?). Couple other Hannah Simons in that line too.

David's brother Abel is mentioned in the same document as an Edward Simmons in Newport, RI

Ruth Curtis named one of their children Simmons Philander Curtis, so that is probably the correct spelling of Hannah's maiden-name.

Oddly, most trees on ancestry.com have different parents for Ruth Franklin Curtis.
