Continued from Charles Hanks and Christine Hargrave

Hanks Family

My link to the Hanks family is through John Hans who married Alexandrine Clement.
Although there are still discrepances as to John Hans being the son of Charles Hans and Christine Hargrave I have not found any hard evidence to dispute. I am not sure as to the accuracy of my information.
Please feel free to inform me as to any errors or any more information that you can provide to me

John Hans and Alexandrine Clement
John Jean Hans was b. Feb. 15, 1803 in St. Martinville, La. v7#165, bapt Oct 18, 1807 v.6a p28, spons Michel Martin & Suzanne Hargrave; m. Alexandrine Clement on Sep. 16, 1844 Laf. Ct. Hse #742. in St. Martinville, LA.  They lived in Vermillion Parish in 1850 and moved to Acadia Parish.  John Hans died between 1859-1860.  Alexandrine was m. 3 times John Hanks, Paul Breaux, Paul Dupreville Prejean ,  lived to be 106 and had over 100 grandchildren.  Alexandrine' parents were Louis Clement and Marianne Stelly.
(Note: My father said they were always told that John Hans came from Germany. The only source I have to back this up is 1850 Census. Which says John was a cobbler from Germany. 1850 census says John was 35 years old which would have made him born abt 1815. Also what I find strange is that John Hans b. 1803 did not marry Alexandrine Clement until 1844 which would have made him 41 at the time. That is a little old for a first marriage in 1844. In 1850 census also John Hans brother were listed as Hanks. Why the different spelling for John?? Would really like to get to the bottom of this.)
