Hannah was born 1780. Family tradition says that she was of Cherokee descent. She may have been the daughter of William or Henry Poe of Ashe County, and Matthias Poe of Ashe County may have been her brother.

Hannah and Peter Hart (Jr.) probably married just prior to 1800. They lived Ashe County, NC, according to the 1800, 1810, and 1820 censuses; Vermilion County, IL, in 1830; and in Putnam County, IL, 1832-1839. They went to what is now Mercer County, MO, in 1839; Peter died there in 1842.

Hannah later moved to Polk County, IA (1850 census) and then to Warren County, IA (1860 and 1870 censuses) and died there in 1871/72. She probably is buried in Linn Grove Cemetery

Hannah was the mother of between 11 and 13 children.
