General Notes: Husband - John Hanna


He and his wife migrated from Ireland and landed at Newcastle, Delaware, in 1796. About two years later, they moved to Mifflin County, Pennsylvania. On Christmas day, 1801, they ar-rived at the old Blair farm in Venango County. He was a weaver by trade, and followed that occupation in connection with farming for many years. [HVC 1879, 487]

He and his wife came to America in 1796, landing at New Castle, Delaware, and settled in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where they remained two years. From there they went to Lewistown, Mifflin County, and from thence the family arrived in Venango County December 25, 1802. They located on a tract of four hun-dred acres in French Creek township five miles west of Franklin. The place of their settlement was later known as "Hanna's gap." The country was then a wilderness, and he was one of the earliest pioneers. He had gained a knowledge of the weaver's trade in his native country, and soon after settling in French Creek township he engaged in the manufacture of carpets, and woolen and linen goods. He was a member of the Presbyterian church and took a deep interest in religious matters. [HVC 1890, 1011]
