She married Isaac Roger Riddle on Dec. 18, 1851 in Titus Co., Texas; and she died there on July 28, 1896. My information shows that her father was Isaac W. B. Blackstone and her mother was Amanda Overton and that they were married in 1831 in Georgia. I have found another query which suggest that her father was Richard Blackstone born in SC in 1790's. Hannah is supposed to be part Creek or Cherokee. Hannah's father and brothers went into the CW, but only one returned named William Luther Blackstone.
