Hannah was married to Isaac P. Sykes (1781-1862) and had the following children.

Bernice Raymond Sykes (1806-1885)
SAXTON Sykes (1809-1856)
Norman Sykes (1811-)
Hiram T. Sykes (1813-1890)
Mary A. Sykes (1817-1842)
Abbey Sykes (1819-)
Phoebe J. Sykes (1821-1855)

Hannah is buried in the old part of the Presbyterian Church cemetery in Hannibal, NY, but the exact location is lost. Isaac joined the Congregational Church of Hannibal on June 12, 1826 and paid $23.00 for a pew there, on November 20, 1826. The Presbyterian Church of Hannibal was originally organized as Presbyterian, but was changed to Congregational on February 20, 1822, and again changed to Presbyterian, July 25, 1870, according to the "History of Oswego Co.". In his will Isaac left to the Trustees of the Congregational Society at Hannibal, $50.00, to support the preaching of the gospel in that place. He directed his Executor, Alexander McInney, to purchase three toom[sic] stones or suitable monuments to be erected at the grave of his first wife, at his grave, and the grave of his present wife--the whole to cost no more than $100.00.

A number of years back, my husband and I went to a Sykes reunion in Dorset, VT. Afterwards we traveled to the Fingerlakes district of New York, where a number of my ancestors lived, including Sykes. When we went to the Presbyterian Church in Hannibal & explored the cemetery there, we learned from the caretaker that around 1912 [I think it was], the church had a new pastor. The pastor's wife noticed that in the old part of the cemetery, many of the stones were down and broken. She thought it unsightly, so she ordered all the stones in the old part removed and turned into paving stones for a pathway to the Church. When the townspeople learned of the project [well on its way to completion], they were outraged. What stones that could be salvaged were returned to the cemetery, but as there was no map of the exact location of the graves to which the stones belonged, the salvaged stones were just propped up in any order in the general vicinity of where they once stood. It was here I found the stone of her husband, Isaac Sykes, but not those of Hannah nor the second wife of Isaac, Sarah.
