I think that C Hannahs result is a match. They are near to Pocahontas and that is where a lot of my part of the family settled. Good job.

I'm sorry for your frustration in the search. I know that this line Aley / Hanners has turned up a lot of dead ends for me as well. I think it is likely that Charity was probably born around 1853.

And the 1870 census gives me problems as well. I cannot find Susan (Hanners) Blackwell and her family. It is possible that Elizabeth is residing with her at that time and perhaps the records are lost.

So your husbands line is through Lafayette. I suppose I haven't given you anything you didn't already have. I would be interested in adding to my data for that part of the line. Did you know about the marriage with Elizabeth Rosenberger and Phillip Hanners?
