I have been following the discussion of Hansons in Morgan Co and nearby, some of whom were possibly from Maryland. Perhaps someone will recognize the Hanson line I am trying to research in nearby Wilkes Co. I am descended from Joseph Wise of Ogelthorpe Co (1829-1906) who married Mary E Hanson (1833-1920.) Mary Hanson's mother was Margaret S Hanson (1800-1891) who was born in Maryland per census data. Mary Hanson's siblings were Walter (b 1821) John b 1823,William b 1828,Kitty b 1836,Anna b 1831 and Henry b 1838. I have information from another researcher which shows that Margaret Hanson's husband was John Maddox Hanson (1787-1838) from Maryland also. This researcher shows John Maddox Hanson's parents being Walter Hanson & Sarah Hatch Maddox and traces the line further back in Maryland. Does anyone recognize this line of Hansons? I thought perhaps John M Hanson and his wife moved to Georgia with one or more Hanson brothers. Joseph Wise had a son Edgar who moved to Madison and married Edith Webster. My father was Joseph Wise b 1906 in Madison, son of Edgar & Edith Wise. Edith Webster's parents were Albert Webster b 1850 and Ida Boughton (1856-1880) from western New York State near Buffalo. Edith Webster was raised by her grandparents John Boughton (1833-1897) and Lucy Boughton (1837-1896) who moved to near Madison in the 1870's and lived there until their deaths. Any help would be appreciated, Larry Wise Florida _________________________________________________________________ Instant message in style with MSN Messenger 6.0.
