There are few resources for this time period and no proof of Margaret Hinchey's death or burial is available, but I have no reservation posting her burial at this cemetery pending further research.

Margaret was married first on March 12, 1815 in Fairfield Co., Ohio, to Robert Cloud Ford (1792-1825). They had six children; John Coke, Charles, Robert Cloud, Henry Melville, Patience, and Mary Ann Ford.

On June 19, 1828 "Peggy" Ford married "Jonas Hinchi" in Logan Co., Kentucky. He was born between 1791-1800, and died before 1840 in probably Simpson Co., Kentucky. Jonas J. and Margaret "Peggy" Hinchey had one known child, Granville Hinchey born about 1837 in probably Simpson Co., Kentucky.

Couldn't find Margaret Hinchey in 1850/1860

In 1870, Margaret and Granville Hinchey are living with her son Robert C. Ford:

Margaret died in 1872 in Lawrence Co., Missouri, probably in Mt. Pleasant Township. After her death (or by 1880), Granville Hinchey was taken to the "paupers farm" east of Halltown, in Ozark Twp., Lawrence Co., Missouri.

Cursory checking did not produce any information on a possible burial at either Harrison Cemetery near West Union, Clark Co., Illinois, or at Walnut Prairie Cemetery aka Brick Church Cemetery a few miles away. Though possible, it would seem unlikely she would have been sent over 420 miles across two states for burial.
