  Research Notes	3 Apr 2013
  	Found a reference that Robert Hanna, son of John Hanna & Martha Doak -- (I know his wife is not confirmed as a Doak, but...) -- bought land from John Doak in Almance. Which John? After studying it out, I think we have/had John Hanna married to the wrong Martha Doak. It makes more sense if he married Martha dau of Imm John and not dau of Imm Dave. So, I've switched the Marthas. However neither Martha's ages fit. After I went through this, I realized that this is the Martha (David) we discussed before - that she might not be dau of David. Either way, ages don't work; and I'm thinking maybe we don't have these imm. kids born early enough. - unless she's not a Doak; but it looks like she is with the other things. Anyway forget the age for a minute. my reasons.... Imm John was in Almance, not Imm Dave Robert Hanna, son of John Hanna & Martha, bought land 1785 in Almance from John Doak. Only John in Almance and had any connection to any Martha is imm John's son John Jr., meaning Robert Hanna bought from his uncle, mother's brother. William Doak (Ann Stuart) will gave place to the Hannas. No reason if Martha dau of Dave. They were only cousins. But if dau of John, then John Hanna his bro-in-law. John Hanna believed to have married Martha Doak of Guilford - Dave's Martha was of VA. John's Martha was of Guilford Imm John Doak not in NC till c1750. Robert Hanna (1st born) was on NC tax list 1768; so, Robert had to be b at least by 1747. It looks like Martha had to be 2nd wife and not mother of all the Hanna children. In fact, his kids seem to be from two "sets." John Hanna on same pg with Alexander Doak in 1790; surry Co. That Alexander Doak m John Hanna's dau Margt. and is David's son Alexander, which would make it look like Martha of imm David's family; but everything makes more sense if she's of imm John's family.

  Notes	Reasoning of estimated dates for this family: Hanna kids: will listed an order of males, then females Robert first, and since he was on tax list by 1768, he had to be over 21 - so born bef 1747. Age given for James, he's listed as 5th son. going from his given b.d., increments of 2 yrs to preceding named sons puts John bef 1756 leaving a 10 yr gap between 1st, Robert and 2nd John Put girls in that 10 yr gap means oldest bef 1747; so m c 1746 Martha and John Hanna b abt 1726 - Martha could be 4 yrs younger, marrying at 16, but that puts her 1726-1730 if 1726, last child b at her age 41
