  ... the parents for John Hanna, Jr.  On the 1850 census John Hanna, Sr and his wife, Margery are living (with some of their daughters) next door to John Jr and Emily.  Archibald Hanna, John Jr's brother, lives on the other side of John Jr's property.
  
  I'm trying to figure out which emigrant Hanna family is John Sr's.  Of course, my cousins insist we come from the Hannay family of Sorbie Castle, but until I can get some corroboration I'm putting warning signs on all of their suppositions which includes James Hanna and Ann Campbell as John Sr's parents.  Personally, I believe this is incorrect, having found James Hanna's will with what I assume are all his children named ... and no John.

  I have not found John and his family in the 1860 census.  They were likely in Henderson County, Texas, though, because in 1861 he was enlisted in the Texas forces in Henderson County.

  ---------------------
  There is an 1867  voting record that matches John D Hanna, but it is in Robertson County,  This is a few counties south of Henderosn County.  Then they were back in Henderson County for the 1870 census.  I have not found any other record for John for this period, and have found no other records of a different John Hanna this might fit.
