Hannah was named after her great grandmother whose name was Hannah Knight.  Hannah married John Carter in Scarborough.  They became the parents of eleven children.  Hannah was very ill at the time she heard the gospel, from the missionaries, of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  They told her if she had faith, she could be healed.  They blessed her.  She was made whole, arose, and asked to be baptized and confirmed that same day.

Her husband and three of her children did not join the Church.  Her family moved with the Church from place to place; Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, and Iowa.  Hannah worked hard to raise a large family in a time of many hardships and religious persecution.  Six of her children shawred her beliefs and followed her example.

In 1842, Hannah and John signed a deed in Hancoc County, purchasing land at Morley's Settlement.  They helped to develop this new community only to be driven from it in 1846.

Her son, Dominicus, was an expert blacksmith who was asked to remain at council Bluffs, to help prepare the emigrant trains for the long journey West.  Another son enlisted int he Mormon Batalion and died in service on the march to California.  Hannah left her husband and crossed the Plains with Domicus and his family in 1851.  Shortly after their arrive in the Salt Lake Valley 20 June 1851, they went on to make their home in Provo.  She continued to live with Dominicus.
