Hannah is buried in a small cemetery in Morris under the name of Upham. Hannah died 10/9/1856. It's difficult to believe that a person can live in the same place for 40 years and there is no record of her!!! There was a possible match for a Jared Upham who had a wife Hannah, but her maiden name was Marks and she lived past the 1880 census reports. I've tried asking local historians for help but most everyone seems to find nothing about this woman!!! I'm, in hopes that someone, locally, can offer assistance in this matter. The grave marker in the cemetery is a four sided stone with inscriptions on all four sides. Also buried in the same vicinity are Hannahs parents and sisters. NO information is known about the two sisters, Rebecca and Julia, who died young. Can you PLEASE help me? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
