    1. [SCLAUREN] William Hanna reply
    2. There was a question obout where Wm. Hanna (lived until around 1811, I believe). The Union Co. Land Grant Maps show a Wm. Hanna with a 320 acre grant in 1794 and a 150 acre grant in 1784. These are adjacent and are on a branch of Duncans Cr. on the south or western side. A small branch runs through both properties, the branch being a little less than a mile upstream from Beards Fork of Duncan Cr. This is maybe 2.5 miles northwest of Duncan Cr. Church. The second property mentioned reaches within about 0.2 miles of Duncan Cr. My interpretion of census records for 1790 and 1800 is that Wm. Hanna probably lived on these properties. Deed Book F page 40 has Wm. Hanna, Sr., selling 107 acres to Wm Cunningham in 1795, part of a 320 acre grant 1794. Deed J-12, 1807, has James Laird selling 225 acres to Wm McClure, both side Duncan Cr., with an adjoining property owner being Wm. Hanna. Deed K-3, 1812, Has Sam, James, Robert, and Wm. Hanna selling 160 acres (parts of 3 tracts) to Wm. Leak. Two of the tracts were from grants of 1765 and 1785 to Wm. Hanna, deceased. I believe that the 1785 grant is the same as the 1784 grant mentioned above. The 3 tracts cover both sides of Duncan Cr. Deed K-187, 1817, sounds like it is part of the above K-3 land. Several Leaks sold 80 acres to Moses Leak, part of a grant to Wm. Hanna, dec., converted by his heirs to Wm. Leak in 1812. Both sides Duncan Creek. Deed M-154, 1830, has several Leaks selling 250 acres on (or near) Duncan Cr. to James, Wm. and John M. Hanna. Grant of Wm. Hanna, belonged to said Wm. Hanna at his death. I believe that all of the above land records were part of the 2 grants to Wm. Hanna located just above Beards Fork of Duncan Cr. I do not have any land or census records that suggest that William lived between Duncan Cr. and the Enoree. There is a grant and one Deed record for a Wm. Hanna on Allisons Branch of Duncan Creek. This flows from the Hurricane Baptist Church area on the west side of Duncans Cr. Most of the above comes out of my notes. There may be mistakes, so please verify anything that looks important to you. Richard Lorenz
