In Patrick Hanna’s will why wasn’t Robert Hanna named. The names were John, Joshua, Samuel, Archibald, Martha, Rosanna. There wasn’t any mention of Robert.
Also BTW Samuel Hannah did not die until later. He married Mary Brady, Archibald Hannah married Margaret Brady. Hugh & Hannah Brady were neighbors. There is a lot of info on Brady family site.
I have the same question, Patricia. My husband is descended from Patrick, 1699>Samuel, 1743>Ebenezer, 1771>Samuel B., 1802>James Ebenezer,1823>Andrew Jack, 1849>James Ebenezer 1879, who is his great grandfather.
James Ebenezer Hanna from what I have read was a physician, he contracted typhoid fever and died in 1860, leaving Susanna Charlotte Webb Hanna with all those children to raise. Your other relation Rev. Samuel B. Hanna, was helping unload supplies from a federal forces ship, now he was a 61 yr. Old civilian, they were overtaken and captured and marched to Libby Prison by the Rebel forces where Samuel died in 1863. Nobody knows when Frances Amelia Auxier Hanna died. Rev. Samuel B. Hanna, would have been my 4th. Great Uncle, Ebenezer is my direct ancestor, 4th. Great Grandfather, Samuel and Mary Brady Hanna would be my 5th. Great Grandparents.
Hope this helps.
I have the same question, lol. I am descended from Patrick 1699> Samuel C 1743 > Samuel C Jr 1775> Samuel Peter 1805 > George William 1838 > Samuel Peter 1868 > James Monroe 1900 who was my great grandfather. I also have no mention of Robert.
You answered your own question.If your connection tion is to James Monroe Hanna then George William Hanna would be Great Grandfather, Samuel Peter Hanna, your GG Grandfather etc.
Robert migrated to Westmoreland County. He was one of the first JP’s and operated the first Courthouse west of the Alleghenies. Is it possible that he received funds to do that from his father?
William Eger, son in law, married to Martha Hanna (no William Hanna), Roseanne Hanna married to Moses Stuart (Stewart), gave birth to Andrew Stewart, Rose cited in will of Andrew Stuart 25 Apr 1754, Patrick Hanna, witness. Roseanna died shortly thereafter. Andrew Stewart listed as private 1778 – 1783 Westmoreland militia.
if you are trying to accomplish a novel, good job. Hannas of Sorbie state that Patrick left for America with brother Robert. I surmise since I can’t find Robert or entry number for him that died at sea and his young son would have been cared for by Patrick, it is a Scottish tradition to mention all children including those who have made it their own way. Since there is absolutely no mention of Robert, even though Ohio Valley Geneaologies and Dobson’s book has him as a son, the only explanation is Patrick’s brother Robert has died at sea and he lived with Patrick until he could go off on his own, I’m also that his father left an inheritance for him when he was of age.
There wasn’t a William Hanna, William surname should be Eager aka Edgar, he was son in law. married to Martha Hanna, Roseanna Hanna married to Moses Stewart, they had a son born 1759 Andrew Stewart, Roseanna died shortly after childbirth, find a record of Moses marrying a widow 1760 with children, probably for the convenience of both. Also, the fabric mentioned in the will is worsted wool.
Total supposition, possible Capt. Patrick Hanna was in the part of Scotland close to Northern Ireland, Ulster, it isn’t a stretch thinking he was running a service for Scots wanting to relocate in Ireland. In the records of Hannas of Sorbie, cites that Patrick went from Scotland to meet with a brother Robert, then together emigrated to America, possibly something happened to Robert Sr. during voyage and young son Robert was raised by Patrick and he moved to Westmoreland and established Hanna’s Town, he was not the son of Patrick Hanna. Andrew Hanna in Hopewell I believe to be brother of Patrick. The book does refer to Alexander as nephew of Patrick. Another brother possible John Patrick Hanna married Jane Andre, if o brother, a close relation. Patrick’s son John possibly moved to Colonial North Carolina, these are all things that need to be,sourced
