Hannah

Hannah

• Father: Adam b. circa 1816, d. between 1870 and 1880
• Mother: Caroline b. circa 1817

• Hannah was born in March 1850 in Texas.
• Research Note: Based on circumstantial evidence, it seems likely that Hannah is the daughter of Adam and Carolina, and a sister of Charles, Mary and Dora. It seems especially significant that all of their birthplaces in the 1880 census (South Carolina and Virginia) fit this picture.
  
• Caroline and Adam and their children Charles, Daniel, Little Adam, Oliver, Mary, Thorton and Hannah were given by Green Wood into the care of his son Green Mark Wood on 9 September 1851.
• Following emancipation, Hannah adopted the name Hannah Moses.
• She married Orange on 30 September 1866 in Montgomery County, Texas, with John E. George, JP, officiating.
• Orange and Hannah appeared in the US federal census of 1 June 1870 in Danville, Montgomery County, Texas.
• Hannah appeared in the US federal census of 1 June 1880 in Willis, Montgomery County, Texas, and Orange was enumerated separately, elsewhere in Montgomery County, working as a farmer.
• Orange and Hannah appeared in the US federal census of 1 June 1900 in Montgomery County, Texas. Other members of the household included Felix Jackson, Mary, George Venable, Dora and Sarah Gilford. Widows Mary Venable and Dora Mathews are identified as sisters, but they actually were sisters-in-law. Also in the household, identified as Gilford grandchildren, are Ella (age 14), Nathaniel (11), Orange (8), and Oscar (4). In fact, all of the grandchildren in the household are identified with the surname Gilford.
• Orange and Hannah appeared in the US federal census of 15 April 1910 in Montgomery County, Texas. Other members of the household included Felix Jackson. Also in the household are grandchildren Rose Fowler (age 17), Oacar Davis (13), Almore Bailey (8), Henry Mcklod (4) Orange Davis (1) and Estemae ?nco (7? months).
• She was employed as a wash woman by a private family, according to the 1910 census.
