(this deponent) that he was going to be married to her mother of which this
deponent seemed much troubled and Mr. Hanson asked her at what she was
troubled; she answered that she was troubled at her mother s being about to
be
married to which Mr. Hanson replyed that he did not want any thing of her
mothers,
that she might make over her effects to her children immediately or reserve
her own

would leave
her as good as he found her and that sometime after Mr. Hanson and her
mother
then were married.
Came Edward Goodrick, Charles Co., who said he talked with John Hanson,
some short time before he was married to his this deponent's mother,
Mary Goodrick. Mr. Hanson called him out and asked him how he approved
of it. Deponent answered that he should be very willing to the match

of writing have appeared, one bearing date 3 April 1744 and the

My brick wall is not being sure about

1. John's true name: Hanson or Anselm
2. Who wee John's parents? We think it might be Charles Bright & Elizabeth
Hobbs.
John & Theresa named their first born son "Charles".
3. Theresa Cissell's parents' names? There is discrepancy about whether they
were
both Cissells.
