Kentucky Marriages 1802-1850, online at Ancestry:
Samuel Hanks married Nancy Wiatt, 16 Mar 1802, Mason Co KY

Assuming she was the usual age of about 16-20 when married, I doubt that Nancy was born prior to 1780. She is usually seen as the eldest child - this does seem to be the earliest marriage among the children of Francis & Ann Wyatt.

Online databases state that Samuel was the son of a Peter Hanks, born Anne Arundel Co MD and Elizabeth Wyatt, b. Loudown Co VA. The parents are said to have died in Kentucky - Peter in Montgomery Co KY about 1830 or Gibson Co IN in the the same year. Obviously one of these is wrong for the place of death of Peter Hanks.

I found several Hanks families in Montgomery Co KY in 1810 - Fielding, John, Polly & William were heads of household. Only Polly was still there in 1820. The only Samuel Hanks living in Kentucky in 1820 was in Irvine, Estill County - he and his wife were both age 26-45 which would be approximately correct for Samuel & Nancy. There were seven girls, two boys, which again is feasible. But I have no other information this is the correct family. There were no Hanks at all in Mason Co in 1810-1830.

Living in Gibson Co IN in 1803 was a James F. Hanks & family - he was age 20-30 and had an older woman age 50-60 in his household. There was also a Peter Hanks & family; he was age 30-40 so certainly not the Peter Hanks, father of Samuel though perhaps he could have been a brother. Both men were still in Gibson Co in 1840. I didn't find a Samuel Hanks in either Kentucky or Indiana in 1830 or 1840.

Ten children are seen in databases online for Samuel Hanks & Nancy Wyatt. They were born between 1803 and 1821 or so. Few of the children have further information although I've been able to find traces of two of them in later censuses.
Names given are Castrya, Ackland, Hannibal, Laura, Cordelia, Adella, Minerva, Euphraia, Armina, and Romulus.

The daughter Cordelia was said to be Cordelia Athelston Hanks, born about 1808. She is said to have married John Miller 29 Oct 1829 in Kentucky, but this marriage isn't found in the usual online marriage databases. Cordelia said to have died 1850, Montgomery Co KY. I did find John Miller in the 1850 census in that place with no spouse - there was no Cordelia Miller listed in the mortality schedule for 1850. John Miller was age 45, b. Michigan. Children all born in Kentucky were Jonas age 20, John 19, Wm P. 16, Marshall 13, Anabel 10, Osborn 8, Nancy Jane 6, Arramenta 4, and Arminia age 2. John Miller supposed to have died in Texas on 6 Nov 1863 so I checked the Texas census for 1860 and found in Cedar Hill, Precinct 8, Dallas Co TX, three of the sons. Wm. P. Miller was 24, b. KY and had a one-year-old boy born in Texas. Jno.H. Miller, age 26, b. KY was boarding with the Cope family [they were born in TN]. Marshall Miller, age 22, b. KY was in the household of two small girls - Elizabeth Miller, 2 and Ann, age 6 months, both born in TX. They were at the top of a page - the previous page is missing which would have the rest of this household. So apparently some of Cordelia's family did go to Texas after her death.

There was said to be a son Romulus Hanks. I found him in Marion Co Iowa in 1850. He was age 29, born in KY [about 1821]. Wife Frances, age 24, and Erminta age 2, born in Indiana.

In the Kentucky Marriages database I found a marriage for Castira Hanks to John Hon in Estill Co, 23 Feb 1824. This would seem to confirm that this family was in Estill Co for the 1820 Census. An online database also suggests that the daughter Laura married Moses Hon about 1826 but I did not find that marriage.
A census search of all states for John or Moses Hon in 1850 did not find any results that could be these men. There was a Moses Hon age 48, but he didn't have a wife Laura.
