Nicholas Hane and Gerard Berck - Germany to Granby
The next thing we find (in 1784) is the first of dozens of Charelston newspaper ads (SC Gaz - 6/5/1784) for the store: "Hane and Berck" at 100 Broad Street:
Two years later, they have moved to 207 King Street and there is a change in the business (Charleston Gaz 2/3 and 2/24 1786):
A year later, another address change to 157 King Street and now a big change. Hane and Berck are looking for someone to take them up the Congaree River (Columbian Herald 3/26/1787):
Three years later and we see the final Charleston newspaper reference to Hanes & Berck. The Charleston store is closed and sold (SC Gz 10/21/1790):
Nicholas would spend the rest of his life in Granby (40 years) where he and Gerald would succesfully raise large families and operate stores, next door to each other.

According to the 1800 Census of Granby, a little over half the people in Granby were slaves (170 black slaves and 162 whites). The Census of 1810 shows the Hane's were no different than the average with 7 family members and 7 slaves. Sarah Friday's drawing shows that the Hane's had a Salt House and documentation shows that the Granby Ferry was owned by Nicholas Hane after Wade Hampton gave up on building bridges at Granby around 1800. Below is a common issue you see posted in newspapers during this time. A runaway slave. This one belonged to the Hane's and had been working at the ferry:
