Biography by: Susan Ritter-

"Hannah was the eldest daughter of Robert Magee & Rebecca Schmell Miller, married William A. Morris in Harrison Co. on Sep. 28, 1865. Their children are listed in William's biography.

Hannah married Truman E. Cunningham in Harrison Co. on July 28, 1872. As of April 28, 2011, I have yet to find a further record for Truman, the son of Hiram and Nancy Bonner Cunningham.

Hannah's third marriage was to George Ringer in Harrison Co. on Sep. 27, 1877. George, son of Lewis & Catherine Ringer was born abt. 1832 in Preston Co, W.Va. He married at least three times: First to Salina Skinner in Harrison County on Sep. 17, 1857; second to Hannah; third to Mary Windsor on March 22, 1895. Mary was about 20 years younger than George. As of April 28, 2011, I have not found a death record for George.

Hannah's son Clarence Joseph was born May 1, 1876 in Harrison County and died Sep. 20, 1954 in Marion County. In the 1880 US Census he was listed as Clarence J. Ringer, but on his death certificate he is Clarence Joseph Morris. Since he was born in 1876, he may have been the son of Truman Cunningham or George Ringer. Due to William Morris' year of death, Clarence could not have been William's son. I'm unsure as to why Clarence adopted the last name of Morris, but he must have had good reason to do so. His father (or stepfather) George Ringer married a 3rd time about a month after Clarence's mother died, and the family dynamics must have been interesting.

According to the 1880 US Census, Clarence had a sister named Louisa M. Ringer, born about 1879. I have yet to find a further record of her."
