Hannay to Hanna
William Anlage 3/12/00
I agree that it's just a matter of who recorded it.
There was a Patrick A'Hanna born around 1250 in SW Scotland.
Gilbert de Annethe maybe de Hannethe or maybe Heynnethe, depending on who is reading the Ragman's Roll in 1296-09-28.
John Hanna, Gilbern Hanna, Andrew or Andre Hanna, Odo Hannay, Ethe Hannay, Robert Hannay (a.k.a. Robert of Boghous), ...
James Hanna b: 1718
William Hanna b: c. 1750 Little Britain Twp., Lancaster Co. PA (m: Sarah Jane Patterson b: c. 1755 Berkeley Co. VA)
David Hannah b: 1774 (m: Mary Vance b: c. 1782)
Hugh Vance Hannah b: 1801 (m. Rebeccah A. Ford b: 1806)
Some report that the "ay" suffix meant "island" or "island dweller".In some records, Odo is reported as Odo Sorbie or Odo Sourby, and others were referred to on occasion as, e.g. Robert Hannay of Sorbie, allegedly because the parish of Sorbie, where they lived had an acidic bog or swamp.
