Posted on: Anderson County, SC Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/SC/Anderson/1515 Surname: Hanks ------------------------- Dan, Thanks so much for the list of Hanks who served the Confederacy. By family tradition, James T. Hanks of Anderson County, SC was a hatmaker for the Confederate Army. I assumed he was contracted to make the hats. I knew nothing of him being a soldier. Recently, it has been suggested to me that he was possibly military personnel who just happened to make hats for them. He lived until 1882.I appreciate you taking the time to check on this material for me & other Hanks researchers who might need the names of Hanks who served in the Confederacy.
