Brice Hannah married Cordelia (Celia) Tade, daughter of David and Hannah (Scherrer) Tade. Brice's house was a recommended stopping place for travelers; the house was described as clean and well maintained. Brice served in the war of 1812 (Captain Daniel Boultinghouse's company of mounted volunteers, Illinois militia) and the Black Hawk war, and was frequently selected to be road supervisor in Gallatin County. In 1819 he started a tavern. Ellen Hannah was born Oct 18, 1821 and Adolphus Brice Hannah was born Oct 11, 1822. In the fall of 1822, traveler Christiana Holmes Tillson stayed at the Hannah house; she did not like Brice, who she described as "Brice Hanna was a tall, well-formed man with good features, and but for his surly expression might have been called handsome". She described Mrs. Hannah "Her skin was very fair, and she had an abundance of jet black, curly hair, and bright, black eyes. She had on a pretty pink calico dress, which with her baby's gear had the appearance of thorough cleanliness."
Although Brice was a prosperous businessman, the estate executor John McLaughlin left the area with the proceeds of the estate. Brice's widow married Silas Farley.
