JR I am familiar with the Hahntown in Westmoreland County. I have located the area on the 1876 County map on the Wilkins Twp. map. There is an area right above Braddock owned by the heirs of the Hanna family. The story that I have is that my grandmother worked as farm help in Hanna town on a farm. Now I presume that this was the Hanna farm right above Braddock. My Zapfs moved there in the early 1900s from Allegheny City (Kilbuck area --) This Zapf worked as a boiler tender for the Braddock Power Works (electricty for Braddock) at that time. By the looks this farm was about 2 miles above Braddock. Probably right near the present Monongahela Cemetery is. On the hill above Braddock. Thanks for the help. All this information kind of fits into the story. Have to take these stories and translate them into present day locations from the old. Since the farm was a rather large area it most probably had its own name for that area.
