Notes
"It was in the year 1820, shortly after Hardin County, Tennessee, was establish, that the Hannas (possibly spelled Hannah) came out from Union County, above Knoxville, and settled. They came down the Tennessee River in a flat boat by the way of the Hoston and landed at White's Ferry - now known as Cerro Gordo, in the month of March, 1820. They settled between Indian Creek and Smith's Fork."184

"Eight children were with them. They were buried by Natural Bridge near Waynesboro, Tennessee on Indian Creek, Middle Tennessee."185

"Another list of land patents are advertised in the Knoxville Gazette, on Apr. 10, 1794, as being ready for the claimants to 'come & get "em".' Among those listed was 'John Hanna'. 'Dated: Knoxville, Tennessee, Apr. 4, 1794.' Many Tennessee Cousins, as well as the compiler of these notes, will find their ancestor in the above list. Some, if not all of them on the list, were revolutionary soldiers."184, page 77.
