  • Notes 
    • Hannah endured a considerable loss in 1854, first with the death of her daughter, Emma, in January. Emma was only 4 years old. Just four months later upon the death of her husband, Hannah was a widow at just 40 years of age. Hannah apparently remained single until her death as she is buried in the Salisbury Cove Cemetery with her husband.
