I am also searching along the same family lines. My descendants are both Robert Hannah and his brother William. I will use Hannah instead of Hanner/Hanners, they are all the same family but was mispronounced and written Hanner/Hanners. Your George was a brother to my Alexander their father was Robert. I do have records of Robert, William and their brother "Alexander" signing the Oath of Fidelity in Hartford County, Maryland, in 1778, during the revolutionary war. My records show your George was born in 1797 in NC as yours do. Robert and family show up in Greenup Co. KY by 1806. Brother William marries Lucy Penn in Henry Co. VA, April 16, 1787, and shows up in the Greenup Co.census in 1820, probably arriving about 1813. I'm not sure what happened to Alexander. Our line may have originated in NC or Maryland and had relatives in NC. This is where the going gets really rough. William claimed he with in the Charles Co.Maryland militia during the revolution but, as yet, not been proven. I'll be looking soon into Maryland records, and NC too. You might check there, I'll let you know if I find anything.
