Dear Marylou: I know nothing about Hanna's parents or siblings.However, she and Jesse Savage moved to near Van Alstyne, Grayson Co., TX, in 1886 from Vernon, Monroe Co., KY.This border area between TN and KY was contested for some years between the two states.Thus family records can have individuals born, married, deceased in the "other" state when compared to official records.From the dates and locations, it would seem a real possibility that Hanna and Timothy were sister and brother.Of Hannah's four children, Lee is the only name not appearing in the Savage family, which suggests that it may have come from the Chowning family.Lee A. Savage was also the eldest.
