Hannah Caroline Allred was born to James Allred and Elizabeth Warren September 30th, 1808 in , Randolph, North Carolina.

When Hannah was three years old, she moved with her family to Bedford County, Tennessee. It was there she met Andrew Hyrum Whitlock Sr. and married him on Sept. 30th 1827 in , Bedford, Tennessee. They were sealed for all time and eternity Jan. 16th 1846 in Nauvoo.

Their first child, a daughter Sally Ray, was born there October 9, 1928.

In Hartford of September 1848 an Article of states that in the census of 1820 Charles Whitlock is listed with wife and six sons and five daughters and a slave. Tradition has it that Andrew's three brothers and his father came to Missouri with Andrew and Hannah.

Andrew and Hannah moved with the saints from place to place as they were driven. At Nauvoo he was a teamster for the Prophet Joseph Smith. Their farms joined one another. During the malaria epidemic Joseph Smith came to Andrew's house to tell him what he wanted done with the team that day and saw that young Charles was very ill with fever. He crossed over to the bed and gave him a blessing. He promised him he would get well and would live to cross the plains and help many others to go on their way to the Rocky mountains.

His family was one of the first groups to leave Nauvoo for the west. While they were in Council Bluffs, Hannah gave birth to her eighth child, a son they named Andrew Hyrum.
