Married: 05/March/1812  Greenup Co., KY		Marriage Record
Died: 15/May/1843  Portsmouth, Scioto Co.	Portsmouth Tribune May 19, 1843	From scrapbook of her granddaughter, Susan Hannahs "On the same day, and within a few minutes of the same time, our excellent sister, Mrs. Susan Hannahs was taken from us. For about twenty-five years she had lived in the service of God, and had been wonderfully sustained through many and sore trials. She, with her departed husband, are said to have been two of the four white persons who formed the first class in Greenup county, KY. Her death scene can never be forgotten by those who witnessed it. Calling her children around her she gave them her dying charge, and then told them to recollect, whenever they were tempted to sin, that there was not a place about the house where their mother had not knelt for them in prayer. She died in the 50th year of her age. Portsmouth, Ohio June 24, 1843"

When Susannah died, she was only 49 and she still had young children.  Ruth would have been about 27.  She must have taken over the raising of the younger children.  She is probably the person who clipped out the obituary on Susannah.  James married in 1848 and E. S. married in 1849.  Sarah Jane married before 1850 because she is in the 1850 census for Vermillion Co., IN living with Joseph C. Cooke and her sister, Ruth.  Ruth married in 1852 in Portsmouth but continued to live in Vermillion Co.  Her niece, Susan Hannahs - middle daughter of James, was sent to live with her Aunt Ruth around 1858.  See obituary for Susan Hannahs. 

Next to the gravestone for Susannah Barklow Hannahs is a stone for Ida E Barklow

The obituary for her son, James M. Hannahs says "James McKoy Hannahs was born in Greenup county, Ky., December 16, 1822. His father was John Hannahs, a brick-layer and his mother's maiden name was Elizabeth Susan Barklow, a daughter of Benjamin Barklow."
