Bloomfield, Chaplin and Fairfield:  A History and Genealogy of Northeastern Nelson County, Kentucky, Robert P. Moore, 2003

Hahn Family

Peter Hahn, born about 1740, Germany, died 1810, Nelson County, Kentucky, married 23 June 1763, Philadelphia, Marie Margaret Schmidt.  He was a private in the Revolution in Capt. George P. Keeport’s company, Col. Nicholas Husacker’s German battalion composed of Maryland and Pennsylvania troops.  He enlisted on 14 August 1776.  He was apparently also in Maryland at some point in his life.  The Christian Hahn and William Hahn branches are the only ones that left numerous descendants in Nelson County.  Although the descendants of William Hahn are probably the larger of the two branches still in Nelson County today, after the 1850 census, one notes a scattering of this branch out of Nelson County and into the adjoining counties of Washington and Anderson.  As far as can be determined, there are no descendants of Christian in Nelson County today who bear the name of Hahn.  There is a multitude of Hahns in the area around Bloomfield and Chaplin.

William Hahn, born about 1785, died in Anderson County, Kentucky, November 1859, age 74, married 17 July 1814, Bullitt County, Kentucky, Sophia Crow, born about 1782.  They were in Anderson County at the time of the 1850 census.  Her name also appears as Sofira, Safira and Saphhira.  She appears in Washington County, Kentucky, in the 1870 census immediately after the household of Norman Hahn.  With her is Elizabeth Hahn [widow?], born about 1842, with children Florida Hahn, born about 1859; William Hahn, born about 1861; Daniel Hahn, born about 1858.
