I have a photo album of the Hanna family, and I am trying to figure out how all of the labeled photographs, (labeled based on info from my great-grandfather) are related to me.
Currently I'm trying to find out more about Moses Hanna and his wife Fannie, whose last name was possibly Carson. After much frustrated searching during which I started to believe that the couple didn't exist and my great grandfather was mistaken, I found a record of them in "The Northeastern reporter, Volume 95" and "Reports of cases argued and determined in the Supreme Court of Ohio, Volume 84".
In these law books, there is some kind of dispute - from what I gather Fannie J. Hanna was declared insane on June 9, 1897 and she died in 1904. She was descended from a man with the last name of Fergus, and married Moses in 1869. Moses apparently bought property in 1872, but then changed the paperwork to put it in his name. The family of Fannie sued for the money gathered from that property they thought was their's ... or something like that.
Is anyone familiar with this family? I can't find them in the census records at all. Does anyone know when Moses was born? I have a picture of him and his wife, as previously stated. The picture was taken in Columbus, Ohio.
Ultimately, I'm trying to prove Moses Hanna's relation to a Joseph Hanna, born within 3 years of 1831. He lived in Washington PA. He married Mary Jane, last name possibly Montgomery, and had the children Francis Marion, Florella (or Flora Ella), Viola, William (sometimes called John) and Anna Mary.
Any help at all would be appreciated
