About Hannah DuRant


GEDCOM Note

Biography

Married John Durant in South Carolina, probably before Feb 1755. They were certainly married by 1760, when her father deeded them some land,explicitly calling her his daughter.

Research Notes

Many internet sources quote an unsourced marriage date of 6 Feb 1755, but this seems to be a misinterpreted terminus ante quem based on the birth of their first known child, Henry, on 5 Feb 1755.<ref>Attributed to a unspecified family bible, but unconfimed</ref>
