Not much is known of this Robert Hanna. He must have been born before 1675 or so as his eldest child was born in 1695. He is believed to have emigrated from Scotland via Ireland to North America around 1730 with his son Patrick and perhaps one other son. Robert reportedly eventually returned to Scotland while his son Patrick settled in Pennsylvania. This second son, Patrick Hanna, who was born in 1699 in Scotland, continues our line.
