The Hanna family moved to the Indiana Territory soon after the territory was established in 1800. Sometime between 1802 and 1804 the Hannas settled along the east fork of the Great Miami River, approximately 3 mile (5 km) north of Brookville, Indiana.

Hanna Jr. married Sarah Mowery (or Mowrey) on March 18, 1813, in Brookville. She was born in Virginia and died at Indianapolis, Indiana. Robert and Sarah Hanna were the parents of ten children: Valentine Claiborne Hanna, Captain Robert Barlow Hanna, James Fulton Hanna, William Harrison Hanna, Thomas Jefferson Hanna, George Washington Hanna, David Graem Hanna Jr., Catherine Mary Hanna, Captain Joseph Madison Hanna, and Captain Jonathan Littlejohn Hanna. Hanna later married Olive Catherwood.

Hanna was hit and instantly killed by a train locomotive as he was walking along the Peru and Indianapolis Railroad track in Indianapolis on November 16, 1858. His remains are interred at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis. Hanna is remembered for his public service as the Franklin County sheriff during the final years of Indiana's territorial government and as one of the county's elected delegates to the 1816 Indiana Constitutional Convention. Hanna became a leader in the state militia in the early years of Indiana's statehood and worked as a registrar in the federal land office. His political career included an appointment to the U. S. Senate and several years as a representative of Marion County in the upper and lower houses of the state legislature.
