Alexander Contee Hanson, Sr. : ウィキペディア英語版 | Alexander Contee Hanson, Sr. Alexander Contee Hanson, Sr. (October 22, 1749 – January 16, 1806) was an attorney who served as Chancellor of Maryland from 1789 until his death.〔William J. Marbury, "(The High Court of Chancery and the Chancellors of Maryland )", Report of the Tenth Annual Meeting of the Maryland State Bar Association, (1905), p. 137-155. According to the author, much of the material in this report was taken from a manuscript dated "Winter of 1851-3", written by Charles W. Hanson, son of Senator Alexander Contee Hanson, and grandson of Chancellor Hanson.〕 ==Early life, education, and Revolutionary War activities== Born in Maryland, Hanson was the son of John Hanson and Jane Contee.〔 John Hanson was a Revolutionary War financier and statesman, who was a signer of the Articles of Confederation and first President of the Congress created by those Articles. Alexander Hanson was educated at the College of Philadelphia and read law in Annapolis. He planned to travel to England to be ordained for the ministry of the Protestant Episcopal Church, but his voyage ended in a shipwreck. He was rescued and taken to Philadelphia, where he became the Assistant Private Secretary to General George Washington. Hanson's cousin (and the future appointee to the Chancellorship), Colonel Robert Hanson Harrison was Washington's Chief Secretary.〔 In 1776, Hanson fell ill, and after two months service, had to leave General Washington's service.〔 Hanson visited headquarters just after the battle of Brandywine, and was present when the two armies, just on the eve of battle, were separated by a violent rain.〔 Still very ill, Hanson accompanied Washington to a farmer's house, where Washington offered him his bed.〔 Alexander Hamilton lay down on the floor in the corner, and afterwards Colonel Hanson would good-humoredly remark that he "never saw a man look so like a cat".〔
