Joseph Hanby ¹

This Joseph Hanby connects back to one of the immigrants Hanbys, either Richard (1596-c1643) or Samuel (1609-??), probably the former. However, the record is sparse for the mid-18th century and how this Joseph Hanby line progresses ackwards. More work to be done to try and ascertain. There is a line Richard-Richard-Joseph (c1679-1710) that is most compelling.
