    3. I found the following on an Indiana American Revolution website. http://www.geocities.com/sdfranklin_1999/inssar_cem-project.html The contact person's name is Stephen Franklin, whose email is below. I believe that this Hanna could be a key to show where some of our brick walls might have migrated to when they disappeared from southern South Carolina and Georgia after the American Revolution. It is full of all kinds of American Revolution service for many names familiar to Georgia, and worth a look. It shows that the battle of Cowpens was fought 'at his uncle Joseph Hanna's plantation' My interest in Mary Parks is some kind of connection between the Henderson family and the Parks and Burroughs family, c. early 1800's. The website has the picture of the gravestones for Robert Hanna and his wife, Mary Parks Hanna. I do know that a Martha Hanna(h) married a Daniel Henderson c. 1820 around Screven County, GA, and then Daniel died, and Martha remarried. If anyone has any further information about the relationships of these families, please post.
