Notes
James Monroe HANSON
He was born in Perry Co., AL 18 Nov 1844 and died in Cleburne, Johnson Co., TX 4 May 1923.
"He served in the CSA 3rd Alabama Cavalry, Company F, in General Morgan Martin's Division. A minnie ball passed through his right shoulder at Perryville, Kentucky in 1863. A saber cut over his right eye occurred at Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1863.
(CSA Pension Application).
He moved to Texas in 1869 and to Cleburne, Texas in 1889.
The 1880 Limestone Co., TX census shows:
James M. Hanson, 36, farmer, born AL,
father born GA, mother born GA
Rachael C., 25, keeping house, born FL,
father born Germany, mother born GA
James S., 11, son, born AL,
father born AL, mother born FL
Sarah A., 6, daughter, born TX,
father born AL, mother born FL
William R., 4, son, born TX,
father born AL, mother born FL
Jennie, 2, no relation shown, born TX,
father born AL, mother born FL
He lost an arm just above the elbow in a corn sheller accident.
For 37 years he lived at:
1207 E. James Street
Cleburne, Texas
and died at home there.
He was a devoted member of the Baptist Church and would go to the courthouse basement and preach on Sunday nights. He also went to the jailhouse where he read the Bible and preached to prisoners."
He is buried in the Cleburne, Texas Cemetery, Block 64.
His Grandfather Radford was one of the richest men in Perry Co.
and they still have an area called Radfordville. His mother inherited an advanced property settlement in 1860 of $3442 from her father, William Radford. Since she had 13 siblings, that wasn't
bad. Like so many others, he came from wealth and the Civil War reduced it all to nothing. *Source: Louise Birchfield

William (Bill) W GILL
W. W. GILL, D. D. S.
Dr. W. W. GILL, engaged in the practice of dentistry in Judsonia, is a native of White Co., Ark., his birth having occurred near West Point, Aug. 23, 1877, his parents being J. C. & Fannie J. (HANSON) GILL, who were natives of Tenn. & of Alabama, respectively. The father came to Ark. in 1871, settling in White Co. He was a carpenter & devoted most of his time to his trade, being among the early carpenters of this state. He also farmed to some extent. He was married here & afterwardtook up his abode in Judsonia, where he continued to make his home until his demise, which occurred in 1885, when he was 38 years of age. His widow long survived, departing this life in 1914, at the age of 56 years. They were the parents of 4 children, of whom 3 are living: W. W.; R. H., a resident of Memphis, Tenn.; and G. G., who is located in Judsonia. One child of the family died in infancy. The mother was a faithful follower of the teachings of the Methodist Episcopal church. Politically Mr. GILL was a democrat, giving unfaltering allegiance to the party. Dr. Gill, having acquired his education in the public schools of Judsonia, started out in the business world as a clerk in stores & afterward became identified with the dry goods trade here, in which he was associated for 12 years with C. E. NEWMAN, the business being carried on under the firm style of NEWMAN & GILL. Thinking to find a professional career more congenial, however, he afterward tookup the study of dentistry, entering the dental Dept. of the Universityof Tenn. at Memphis & there winning his D. D. S. degree as a graduateof the class of 1915. Returning to Judsonia, he opened an office & has continued in general practice since that date, devoting his entire time to his professional interests & duties. He has a well equipped office, supplied with the latest improved appliances & the countless little delicate instruments which constitute the equipment of a successful dentist. He belongs to the Northeastern Ark. Dental Assc.,the Ark. State Dental Assc. & the Nat'l. Dental Assc.
Dr. GILL was married to Miss Lela C. BEST, a native of White Co., Ark., and they have become parents of 3 children, of whom the youngest died in infancy, the others being J. W. & B. E, both at home. The parents are helpful & consistent members of the Baptist church, in which Dr. Gill is serving as a deacon, and both he & his wife are teachers in Sunday school. They manifest a most earnest interest in all branches of the church work & have done everything in their powerto promote the growth of the church & extend its influence. Fraternally Dr. GILL is a mason, belonging to Anchor Lodge No. 384, A.F. & A. M., of Judsonia. He has always voted with the democratic party and has served as recorder of his town for 13 consecutive years. Hel ikewise filled the position of secretary of the school board ofJudsonia for 12 years & the cause of education has found in him a most worthy champion. His labors are a forceful element in public progress & the worth of his work is widely acknowledged. At the same time he is making steady progress & winning substantial success in his profession by reason of the thoroughness with which he does his work & the employment of the most modern scientific methods in the care of the teeth. (From "A Centennial History of Arkansas", edited by Dallas T.Herndon, the Director of the Dept. of Archives & History, published byThe S. J. Clarke Publishing Co., Chicago-Little Rock, 1922.)

Obituary:
MRS. N. L. WHITE
Mrs. White was born Sept. 5th, 1847 in Henry County, Tennesee. She moved to Searcy, Ark. April 13, 1860 and came to Judsonia in 1866.
Mrs. White was married to W. T. Hanson in 1879. To this union was born five children, three of whom died while very young, leaving two girls, Mrs. C. S. Perkins and Mrs. Ola Hembree, ten grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Mr. Hanson died June 27th, 1915. Mrs. Hanson was married to N. L. White in 1917, who died in 1923. She was 72 years, 6 months and five days of age. She was converted at an early age and united with.....(note there is more to this article, but I don't have the rest of it...!!!). NOTES: She was buried in Evergreen Cemetery. There was a headstone placed for her in the McDearman Family Cemetery in Judsonia, Arkansas, but the grave area itself was concreted over. It appears there was some sort of conflict between her and her brother James A. McDearman. I know nothing of the details, but think this from an extract from a letter of one of her descendents:
"I am sure that the reason there is no date of death on the stone is that Grandmother could not/was not allowed in the cemetery."
It would seem that the conflict occurred later in life as the headstone was put there at some point after she married William T. Hanson. This same letter makes references to a Will and a Trial, but not enough detail to know what it is referring to.

Horace HANSON
Document in my possession: Obituary for Horace Hanson Died October 3rd, 1883, of Bloody flux, terminating in brain affection, little Horace, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Hanson, aged one year two months and twenty days. Little Horace was bright and sprightly, the hope of fond and loving parents, but these hopes on earth have been sadly cut off. The destroyer came, and with his unrelenting hand, seized upon the beautiful bud of the household; but their hopes are not blighted forever, for "If we believe that Jesus died, they who also sleep in Jesus, will God bring with him.". Before the burial, a sermon was preached to relatives and sympathizing friends from these words of our Lord: Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God." After the sermon, the remains were conveyed to the family burying ground on the farm of J. S. McDearman, the father of Mrs. Hanson, to await the resurrection morn. "One lovely bud adorned our bower,
And shed sweet fragrance round,
It grew in beauty, hour by hour,
'Till ah! the spoiler came in power,
And crushed it to the ground. Yet not forever in the dust,
That beauteous bud shall lie,
No, in the garden of the just,
Beneath God's glorious eye, I trust,
Twill bloom again on high."

John DE HARDY
Titles: SHERIFF OF LONDON, ALDERMAN OF ALDERSGATE
He married Mary Stanley, daughter of Lord George STANLEY, Knight of the Garter and Knight of the Bath, and his wife, Baroness Joan STRANGE, of Knockyn. Sir John deHARDY died 1543.
*Source: Wurts. Vol 1--11, pp. 68, 121, 231; Vol.III, pp. 389--395; Vol VIII, p.2859.
He is also frequently referred to as Lord Mayor of London, however, according to Peter Haizelden, John deHardy was never Lord Mayor. Although researchers in the past have recorded him as Lord Mayor, Peter Haizelden says the title of Lord Mayor did not evolve into general use until the mid-1540's. John deHardy was Citzen and Harberdasher (Master 1528-29) and was a Alderman of Aldersgate, 1524-28 and Farringdon within 1528. He was Sheriff of London 1527-28,Auditor 1531-33. John deHardy died October 1540; his Will was dated the 7th and proved 21 October 1540, PCC14 Alenger. John deHardy's Will was proved at Preogative Court of Canterbury (PCC 14 Alenger) John deHardy was never knighted. John deHardy was Sheriff of London--This research was done by Clarence Morris, who hopes to get a copy of John deHardy's Will from London. Records of the Prerogative Court ofCanterbury are held by the Public Record Office, Ruskin Avenue, Kew,Richmond TW9 4Du and may be viewed there or/and they may be viewed atthe Family Records Centre, 1 Myddelton Street, London EC1R 1UW. Aletter from the CLRO@corpoflondon.gov.uk states, "We have checked the entry of John deHardy in AB Beaven 'THE ALDERMAN OF THE CITY OF LONDON(1908, 1913) which confirms the information given to you by Peter Haizelden. John deHardy Will was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC 14 Alenger). As Peter Haizelden pointed out, John deHardy was an Alderman and Sheriff but was never Lord Mayor of London." Records of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury are held by the public Record Office, Ruskin Avenue, Kew, Richmond TW9 4Du and may be viewed there or/and at the Family Records Centre, 1 Myddelton Street, London EC1R 1UW. In addition, records of the haberdashers'company are at the Guild hall Library Manuscripts Section, Aldermanbury, London EC2P 2EJ. All of this information would not have been possible if it were not for the hard work and dedication of Clarence Morris. But we must never forget that John deHardy was written as Lord Mayor of London for generations in our family, and perhaps in the future we will better understand why this title was passed down.

Lady Mary STANLEY
She was the daughter of George Stanley & Baroness Joan Strange of Knokyn. *Source: Internet
FOR RESEARCH, FROM GENFORUM:
As previously noted, Joan LE STRANGE's 1514 will provided a lifetime interest for a daughter Margaret in the Manor of Wymington, Bedfordshire and in language implying that her right to it might be challenged. I had not previously come across any reference to this Margaret and wondered whether she might be synonymous with Mary.
The vast bulk of her estate was left to her eldest son and heir Thomas STANLEY, 2nd Earl of Derby, who died in 1524. I have now looked at his will. Certainly any perceived threat to Margaret's tenure of Wymington did not seem to come from her brother. He refers to his late mothers will: "Also, where my most derest lady and mother whose soule god pardon, by her wille and testament bequithed and by dede granted unto my suster Margaret Stanley the manour and Lordship of Wimyngton with the appurtenances in the countie of Bedford for terme of her lyfe, my mynde and will is that my said suster have occupie and enioye the said manour wt thappurtenances after my decesse if I do not otherwise provide for her in my hast."
There is no mention of a sister Mary. He does refer to sisters Elizabeth (unmarried) and Jane (married to Robert Shefelde), wife, daughter Margaret (unmarried), uncle Edward (Lord Mountroyle), son Henry and brother James.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sorry, if your birth date for Mary is correct she would not be the daughter of Sir Geroge m Joan Strange. Burke's Peerage (1970) states "His Lordship d.v.p. 5 Dec 1497, and left with two daus. sons Thomas, John and James." (Unless a woman married well they aren't listed in the peerage). Now take hope - The Complete Peerage Vol IV states "He d.v.p., 4 or 5 Dec. 1503, aged about 43 (being said to have been poisoned at a banquet), at Derby House, St. Paul's Wharf, London, and was bur (with his mother) at St. James's Garlickhithe." A footnote to this entry states he was present at a chapter of the Order of the Garter, 7 May 1503, but at the next recorded meeting, 5 May 1504, a mass for the dead was celebrated for him. It is noted that Dec. 1497 is the wrong date for his death. So - - could be that one of the two daughters was indeed your Mary. Hope this helps.
