Further Lines back to Scotland

From Robert Hanna we have

John Hanna (b abt 1570 in Scotland)
It looks like this is where the name Hannay comes into play. It was most likely changed as the family immigrated to the America. 
Alexander Hannay (b abt 1533 Sorbie Castle, Wigtown Scotland)
     Wife: Anne Mackie
Donald Hannay
Patrick Hannay
John Hannay
Alexander Hannay
Patrick Hannay (b about 1404)

So this information is pretty loose and take it for what it's worth. I have not validated any of it myself so this is purely relying on the research of others. It'll take some time for me to be able to validate it myself so as you can tell, this is a huge work in progress. I hope to one day tell you that I've been successful!!

I have found a website that verifies the information I have listed above and takes the record back even further (to 1250). Of course I have no idea how to verify that information and will start when I have time. But for your further amusement, I'll share the link. Click here.
