Hanson

Hanie Hanson

Hanie Hanson married in Walton County, Georgia on 19 Dec 1833 to Sansom W. Roberts, son of William Roberts and Frankey (Frances?) Sansom. Hanie and Sansom Roberts had six children, William H. Roberts, Mary A. Roberts, Sarah T. Roberts, Lewis E. (H. G.) Roberts, Griffin A. Roberts and James S. Roberts. Their daughter, Mary A. Roberts is my GGreat Grandmother who married Oliver Perry McLean. They had three sons before he went to war and died in Virginia in 1862. Their sons were William Thomas McLean, Theodore Hampton McLean and Lewis Clinton McLean (my great grandfather).

After his death, she remarried to his brother, Juan Fernandez McLean who was one of three brothers who survived the war. They had three more children together, Alice Rebecca McLean, Exor M. McLean and John Morgan McLean.

Sansom W. Roberts and Hanie Hanson Roberts moved to Fayette County, Georgia at some point. Sansom W. Roberts died on 22 Dec 1849. I have just recently found the grave of Sansom W. Roberts on private property in Fayette County, Georgia located off of Greenville Road in the southern part of the county near Starrs Mill and Woolsey. I took photos of the headstone which is hand carved and hope to be able to read it better from the photograph than I was able to in person.

Hanie Roberts married Hugh Porter in Fayette County, Georgia on 01 Dec 1853. Hugh Porter raised her children by Sansom Roberts and they had three more children of their own, Archibald R. Porter, John Hugh Porter and Ophelia Jane Porter. Hugh Porter died on 02 Jun 1861 so Hanie was again left with small children to raise. She remarried to Edmond Seagraves who died by 1870.

Hanie lived in Fayette County until her death on 30 Oct 1891. She was buried at Antioch Church Cemetery in Fayette County, Georgia beside her second husband, Hugh Porter.

WHO ARE HANIE HANSON'S PARENTS??? THIS IS ONE OF MY ROADBLOCKS, SO ANY TIDBITS OR SUGGESTIONS ARE VERY WELCOME.

WHAT IS HER RELATIONSHIP, IF ANY, TO THE OTHER HANSONS IN WALTON COUNTY AND FAYETTE COUNTY?

I searched the census of Walton Co., GA in 1830 and the only female Hanson I found that fit Hanie's age is a household where Maranm Henson is listed as Head of Household and as age 50-60 with another female in household age, 15 - 30. If Hanie was born in 1814 as her tombstone reads, she would have been 16 in June of 1830. She was married three years later. Finding a death or burial record for this Maranm Henson could be an important key in establishing Hanie's parentage if this is indeed her.
