Hannah Witt, wife of Charles Hulsey 1725 - 1792

 Hanna Witt (1730-1805) Wife of Charles Hulsey II 

 Origin: 

 Born in Halifax, Co. FA, her father was John William Witt (1700-1732) and her mother was Lucy Littleberry (1713-1782). Many sources show Hanna Witt’s parents as John Witt (1675 1751) and Lavinia Ann (Mary) Rogers (1680-1740). Their ages preclude them from being the parents of Hanna Witt. Their son, John William Witt (1700-1782) is of the correct age and Hanna is shown as his daughter. Her Emigrant Ancestor was John Witt (1645-1715), an Englishman, who married Ann Daux 1650-1715, of English extraction. 

 Early Life: 

 Her father moved back to Goochland County near his family. Her sister, Nancy, married John Macklock near the time of her marriage in to Charles Hulsey II on Jan. 2, 1766. The two families lived close to each other until 1792 or later. 

 Later Life: 

 A person of appropriate age was shown in the 1800 Census report of Jesse Hulsey, her son, in Pendleton District, SC. 

 In 1805 she resided with her son Charles III in Franklin Co. GA. She entered the 1805 GA Land Lottery but was not one of the fortunate drawers. 

 Her exact year of death is unknown.

INFORMATION posted on Ancestry by William Huff 1941. I believe that he restored the Hulsey information in a tree on Ancestry. I messaged him a few years ago...that I was excited to find this information once again. but I never heard back from him.
