• Notes

  Krissie as she was called in a 1908 reunion transcription was widowed early in life. She reared three children on her own and moved to Ohio in the process. Although most sources list William as her husband, her daughter Mary Hank's 2nd me to John Abbot list her parent's as T. and K. Hanks. (C-759, 945, 2034)
