Hi: I am searching for information on the Hanson/Henson family of Troy, New York. Michael and Stephen Hanson lived in Troy during the 1830-1880's. They were "furnacemen". Stephen Hanson/Henson's tombstone states he was a native of Athlone, Westmeath County, Ireland. I believe this family may be related to my Thomas and Stephen Hanson of Athlone, Westmeath County. Thomas and Stephen were also in Troy, circa 1833 and went westward to Ohio and Iowa. Would like to hear from anyone connecting to the Hansons of the Troy area. Thank you. Cecelia
