Hannah married Frederick Keister, Sr. (1730-1815) in 1755 in Bath Co., Virginia, who had came to the settlement about the same time.

Hannah had 2 children on the dreadful day of 04/28/1758 when all in Fort Seybert, Augusta County (now Pendelton County), (W.) Virginia, were massacred or taken captive by Indians.
