Randy,

I have been searching the Hanners for over 35 years and feel that I am no further alone than when I last interviewed my husband's grandmother, who was the granddaughter of Lafayette Hanners. Her father was Elijah Thomas Hanner.

The 1860 census is a problem to figure out. I think that Charity's age should be 7 and I believe I have found her in 1870 in Randolph Co AR, with a different last name, of course. There is a female, C Hannahs - age 18 - born in MO working as a domestic servant for the Robert Martin family. In the next county over, Lawrence Co AR is Fayette Hanner and family in 1870. I am still trying to find Elizabeth in 1870.

My efforts to find the rest of the Hanners listed in 1860 with Solomon have turned up negative too.

Thanks for your reply
Barbara
