I am not at all sure that Elizabeth Tyler was his wife, though the name of Henry Massey Hanson for their son and the surname suffix "Sr" seems to bear it out. Henry Massey was Elizabeth Tyler's step-father. John Hanson is called "Sr." in the 1757 probate of his mother-in-law. His father having died in 1754, prior to that , he was Jr. I am also not sure that Walter and John Hanson were his sons. His wife does not release dower on some of the lands he gave to his sons, but does on those where he SOLD land. BOTH Walter and the John I have as his son went by the suffix "youngest, yst". While his first cousin, John the President, had gone from "Yst" to "Jr." in Charles County, he was now in Prince George's County, so I don't think he was "Jr." in Charles County any longer, but he could have been. So I am not sure if "John, Jr." was John, Sr.'s son, or John the President. John Sr is paired with both John, Jr. and Yst in documents during this time.

It is also possible that he had more than one wife. When she would die, he would deed the property she brought as dower to his sons that he had by her. I just don't know from the records I have.
