Dear Fritz,
In "Early Germans Of New Jersey", Chambers 1895, page 397 we find:

WIlliam Hann ( Originally Henn or Hahn), b abt 1704, d Feb 10 1794 m Elsie
_____
b about 1701, d 1791, August 9, had ch;
Joseph b 1734
William b 1738
Jacob -no dates
John b 1747 who married Anna Dimet Sharp, daughter of John Peter, 1st.

Nothing other than that. I suspect that you like I, according to all records
really don't exist since that while our ancestorial name extends back many
centuries direct line only leaves hints here and there.
By the way, I do have Henn people in my line..I think there may be a Sharp
too. Oh and I think I spotted a HANCE person.
