Charles W. Hanson
MSA SC 3520-15871
Biography:
Married Rebecca Dorsey Ridgely, the daughter of Charles Carnan Ridgely, October 1, 1807. Died 1853.
Associate Judge, Sixth Judicial District (Baltimore and Harford counties),
1817-1832. Probably a Federalist; later a Whig. In 1830, the members of
the House of Delegates accused Hanson of incompetence, and a committee
recommended that he be removed from the bench, a recommendation never acted
upon. By 1850, Hanson appears to have been a resident at the Maryland
Hospital for the Insane.
