Excerpt from the biography of Joseph A. Hannah published in the History of Randolph and Macon Counties, Missouri, Page 654:
Joseph A. Hannah
(Farmer and Stock-raiser)
If one had been on the road between Missouri and East Tennessee in 1835, he might have seen a mover's covered wagons slowly but surely wending its way out to this State. In the wagon here reffered to was Robert Hannah and wife, formerly a Miss Melinda Jenkins, both young then and immigrating to this new country to establish themselves in life. They came on and settled in Randolph county, and here, as the seasons came and went and decades grew into almost half a century, their industry and perseverance prospered them abundantly in the affairs of the world and Heaven blessed them with numerous family of children. The father became one of the substantial and influential farmers and stock-raisers of the county and one of its large landholders. He died here in a green old age on the 4th of March 1876, honored for the long and useful life he had led and deeply mourned, now that the intent come. His good wife, worthy to have been the life companion of such a man, preceded him to the grave in 1855. Both sleep beneath the sod of the county for which they have done so much and in which they will long be remembered for the valued and blameless lives they lived. Such parents children may cherish the memory of with the sweet sadness and sacredness of a happy dream. Six of their family of children are living; James M., now of California; Joseph A., the subject of this sketch; E. Sharp; Julia A., the wife of S. R. King, of Saline county; and Emily E., the wife of E. H. Jett. Margaret F. grew to womanhood and became the wife of J. S. Howard, A. B. and A. M., a professor in Oxford Female College, of the State of Mississippi. She died in 1866. Joseph A. Hannah, whose name heads this sketch, was born in Lincoln county, Tennessee, August 5, 1830, emigrated to Missouri in the spring of 1835 and was reared on his father's farm.
