James Howard Hanson, Amsterdam, New York, attorney at law, was born September 27, 1867, in Great Harrington, Massachusetts, son of Andrew T. Hanson and Anne Johnson, his wife. On the paternal side he is of English descent, a direct descendant of John Shaw, one of the leaders of the Plymouth colony, and of Hezekiah Hoar, an ensign in Miles Standish's company and one of the first settlers of Taunton, Massachusetts. Andrew T. Hanson was a son of Jonathan Hoar Hanson and Priscilla Shaw. On the maternal side Mr. Hanson is of Dutch descent, descended from Rualf Jansen, patentee of Schodack Landing.

They are attorneys for the Fonda, Johnstown & Gloversville Railroad Company, the Edison Electric Light & Power Company, the First National Bank of Amsterdam, the water commissioners of that city, and for various other manufacturing firms and corporations. In 1905 Mr. Hanson was desismated by the attorney general as one of his special deputies to prosecute certain public officials in Montgomery county, which resulted in the removal of the clerk and the sheriff of the county by Governor Higgins. Associated with him in this work were E. P. White, a graduate of Union College, class of '79, and L. A. Serviss, class of '74.

In politics he is an independent Republican, but has taken no special interest in that field, never having held nor sought public office. Mr. Hanson is the author of the introduction to "The Minute Book of the Committee of Safety of Tryon County," which book was published by Dodd, Mead & Company in 1905.
