The only info that I have on Sally is that she was born in Ky. abt. 1807 and died 28 May 1862. I don't know who her parents were. I have a list of 9 children for them-Joseph Sarah, Susan, Cyrene, Elijah (my husbands ancestor),Jesse, Amy,Elnora and "rlima". Only have further info on Susan and Elijah. The history listed Michael (died 1817 in Shawnee Co.)as the father of Martin and Sarah (died 1838)as his mother. Do you have any info about Michael and Sarah? My father-in-law always said that family history said that Michael was a tory during the Revolutionary War. Any aid that you could give me would be great.MJ

Susan HANON MATTHEWS was my 3-g-grandmother. I've done very little work on the Hanon line, but according to other researchers, she was the daughter of Michael Hanon. He is said to have been born in Ireland and died in 1817 in Gallatin, IL; his wife ____ Hannon died in 1838, in Sangamon, IL. There's a good chance of a connection to your Martin, because Susan's first child was named Martin, b. 1828. I would greatly appreciate any information you might have on the Hanon family! If either of you would like to have Aaron Matthews' descendants, please just let me know and I'd be happy to send that to you. Below is a list of Eli and Susan Hanon Matthews' children, according to a Hanon researcher.
