    3. This is the obit for Jane Holligan-Hackworth -Keyser-Reynolds. Jane m Burwell Hackworth 25 Aug 1817 in Bedford, Va--and John Keyser 10 Nov 1842. Her daughter, Jane m John's son, Thomas Jefferson Keyser. Anyone having information on the line? I'd love to hear from you. Mrs Jane Reynolds, the mother of Capt. George Hackworth, was born in Bedford, Va, March 20th, 1803, and died at the residence of Levy Hatten, in Wayne Co., on the 20th instant. Her first husband, Burwell Hackworth, died in Boyd Co, Ky (Greenup Co) in the year 1836. After the lapse of seven years she married Mr. John Keyser, a wealthy farmer residing four miles from the mouth of Big Sandy River, in Wayne Co. After spending many happy years together he was called away, leaving her a widow the second time. She was next married to James Reynolds, who resided on Mud River, near Milton (WVa) and who was killed in the celebrated battle of Barboursville in 1861, leaving her a widow for the third time. She then returned to Wayne Co. and spent the remainder of her days. She had been a member of the Baptist church for fifty two years. She was noted for industry and frugality, and these combined with her religious proclivities, secured to her a large number of friends, who are profoundly grieved by her death. The funeral oration was delivered by the Rev. Harrison Smith, from the 1st Corinthians, 15th chapter and 55th verse-"O death where is thy sting? O grave where is thy victory?" It was indeed a very able sermon. She is survived by three of her children, Mrs. Bethannah Stevenson of Decker, Indiana, her oldest daughter is now 70 years old. Mrs NAE Boley of Olney, Illinois, is her second oldest daughter, and is now 68 years old. Capt. Hackworth, of Huntington, is the youngest child, and is in his 54th year. She so lived that in old age she could reflect upon a life well spent and died in the hope of a glorious immortality. Copied from -Daily Advertiser--Huntington, WVa.
