It looks like "Hanjo", possibly it could by "Haujo" but there is no "r" in the name. I count 17 names which end in "Hanjo". I would be interested in looking at the list that Andrew Jackson had from the Battle of New Orleans to compare the two and see if these are the same but I really don't think they are since the one I'm looking at is from 3 years after the Battle of New Orleans and were issued at a place called Fort Scott. Does anyone know where Fort Scott is located? I also came across a very detailed description of a burial mound in Sumner County, Tennessee, which had a detailed sketch of the mound and which was near Bledsoe's Lick. Have you ever heard of such a mound? It was with the Andrew Jackson papers on microfilm that I looked at recently. John Craven New Orleans
