Notes:

She was raised by her mother's parents, and went by the name Manasha Graham Hinds.

Did she really die in MO? She seems to have been living in IA at the time of her death.

--
She and Ellis moved to Putnam Co IN in 1843 or late 1842.
They moved to Confidence, Wayne Co IA about 1857.
They moved to Loveland IA about 1864.
