  • Notes: 

  • Hannah Johnson's birth date as given by the Moffitt Genealogy is 20 FEB 1833, over two months prior to her parents marriage making her illegitimate. Since the book makes an error on her husband Silas Moffitt's death year and the first initial of her husband, it is likely that her birth year is in error in the book as well.
