From Lyida Hanson Beaugez,:
Jesse Hanson was a real pioneer. He and his wife Elizabeth Crawford Hanson remained in Fauquier County, Virginia until 1795. At the age of 28, he moved his family to Georgia. We can assume they moved in a covered wagon as a part of a wagon train, as this was customary during this period. They were in Jackson County, Georgia in 1798, owning 50 acres-situated on 'Wild Cat Creek.' In 1811 the family had moved on to Morgan County, Georgia, and then, again, to Walton County, Georgia in 1820. They are listed on the 1830 census in Fayette County, Georgia. His first wife, Elizabeth Crawford, died there in 1840.
Jesse Hanson married, secondly, to Mary Murphy in 1841, at the age of 74. In 1875, 23 years after Jesse's death, his second wife filed a widow's claim for a pension due her for her husband's service in the War of 1812. Her claim was rejected since a record of service was not found. But this was 63 years after the War of 1812, and during Reconstruction, when few Southern widows received pensions. On her application for pension, when she was 89 years old, she stated that she was "the widow of Jesse Hanson, who served in the War of 1812. He was a volunteer in Captain Butts' Company, Hoggs Regiment, in Morgan County, Georgia, in the spring of 1812; and was honorably discharged in the fall of 1812. He was in the fights with the Indians; had to be out to keep the Indians from killing us. He drew a land warrant for his service in 1850 or 1851." The claim was rejected in 1877. No bounty land warrant, nor proof of his service, was found.
