Hi,

I am just getting back to my Hanner/Hanners family research and found this query. I am trying to find Elizabeth before she married Solomon, their marriage date would be great too. I found a Solomon Aley who was born abt 1805 in Knox Co TN or not, but he did marry on 5 Jan 1830 to Maria W Luttrell in Knox Co TN. They divorced in 1839 in Owen Co IN where he is listed on the 1840 census (I don't have the family breakdown).

On 10 May 1840 Solomon married Philipena Kregger and in 1847 the probabte records of Owen Co IN list Soloman Aley as an heir of John G Kregger, others were George, John G jr, Lavina, Louisa and Peter W. I believe that Philipena was a daughter of John G Kregger sr and the Jacob Craiger on the 1850 census with Solomon and Philipena was a nephew

I think from 1850 to 1860 that Thomas H and Benton are the same person and that Charity Aley is really Charity Hanners and the birth date is off. Why? Because in 1880 there is a Redmond and Charity Rice with Elizabeth Hanners (mother-in-law)in their household. Most indexes and printed material say Elizabeth's last name was Hammers but I have studied the actual census records and do not think that is correct because just down the way on the same census is Fayette Hanners (from the 1860 census).

The Hanner/Hanners line is part of my husbands maternal family tree. Any help you can give me on them would be greatly appreciated.
