Biography

Note Feb 23, 2024. Some writers say that Alafair married Horatio Hanks (1845 - 1915). I am changing the death date to 1915 for this profile because it is more than 9 months before the birth of his daughter. More work needed to determine first name.

Feb 24, 2024. This profile is now for Horatio Hanks. Richard S is archived below.

Research Notes

Because Horatio Hanks is the father of Ruby on her death certificate, the following data is archived from the "old" Richard S Hanks and is replaced with Horatio. (Richard S Hanks died before Ruby was conceived, so he can't be the father of Ruby.)

Richard was born in 1841. He passed away in 1874. "Richard S Hanks Carter Family Tree Birth: dd mm 1841 - Jasper, United States Marriage: date - DeWitt, Texas, USA Death: date - De Witt, Texas, United States
