John Hanby (41154435)
Suggested edit: John Hanby, for many years a prominent and very successful farmer of Geneseo, Livingston County, NY, was born in this town, March 15, 1805. His father, William Hanby, who was a native of England, on coming to America settled in the State of Pennsylvania, where he married and resided for a number of years, and then returned to England, where he died. His wife's name was Mary McNeil. She was a native of Northumberland County, PA, and daughter of Robert McNeil, who was born in County Antrim, Ireland, and who upon his arrival in America settled in PA. After residing there for some length of time he removed to Livingston County, NY, and became one of the first settlers of Geneseo. His wife was also a native of County Antrim. They spent their last days in Livingston County. Mrs. Mary McNeil Hanby, after the death of her first husband, married Mr. Isaac Hall, father of the late J. Thompson Hall, a well-known and highly esteemed civil engineer. John Hanby was reared to agricultural pursuits, and spent his entire life in close application to this branch of industry. Previous to his marriage he had purchased a farm of fifty acres, situated about two miles from Geneseo, upon which he began his career in a log house. Here he brought his wife after marriage, and here most of his children were born. From time to time, as the fruits of his labor began to ripen, he added to his first purchase little by little, until his acres broadened to such an extent that he was designated as one of the largest landholders in the county. At the time of his decease, February 3, 1884, he was in possession of five hundred and forty acres of land, all under good cultivation, together with spacious and convenient buildings. In the year 1830, Mr. Hanby was married to Miss Margaret M. Begole, daughter of Samuel and Margaret (Schull) Begole, pioneers of Livingston County. They reared in all seven children, as follows: William Henry, Nancy C., John R., Hannah C., Mary S., Margaret C., and Helen L. Mr. and Mrs. Hanby were members of the Presbyterian church upward of half a century. Mr. Hanby was entirely a self-made man, commencing life with nothing but his own energy and natural abilities, and ending it with a goodly share of labor's fruits, as a reward for his patient, unwearying diligence and sagacious thrift. He was always an exceedingly liberal contributor to the needs of the church, as well as to all other worthy objects, and died a true and faithful Christian, respected and beloved by all who knew him. His life, history, worth, and long-continued usefulness entitle him to be held in honored remembrance.
