Biographical data

Name: Hannah, James Washington

Born: 1826

Died: 22 Jan. 1863

Notes:

I am guessing that the 'W. Hannah' who appears in Tomlinson's Chess Player's Annual 1856, and in the Era of 25 May 1862 (p.5) and 20 Jul. 1862 (p.5), is actually James Washington Hannah. The latter is given as 'J. Hannah' on p.173 of Löwenthal's book of the 1862 Congress in London, but as 'J.W. Hannah' on p.xl.
