1860 Osage, Browing Ferry MO: PARKS Hannah/65/VA, MacArthur/32/KY, Mary C/24, William B/2. Hannah is still shown as a slave owner.

Hannah and her sister, Nancy Lunsford, married brothers William and Reuben Parks.

Hannah is placed in this cemetery with her husband; no official burial records have been found. He was buried on their farm, she is assumbed to be also.
Other known nearby family cemeteries are the Samuel Parks Cemetery, Parks Chapel, and the Peyton Parks cemetery which was moved to make way for the Lakes project. Many of those burials were moved to Calhoun Cem and Parks Chapel.

It is hoped that by entering her memorial someone who knows of this family will get in touch via the suggestion link so that a more accurate accounting can be made for Hannah, hopefully including confirmation of her burial location.
