Notes:

There was a Robert Reed in Sevier Co about the time she was born, and also an Alexander.
There was also a Mitchell Reed c1760 who had children in Sevier Co. Mitchell had a sister Hannah who died unmarried, and a sister Mary who married John McFarland.

--
One RootsWeb entry says she was d/o John Reed 1746 Rowan Co NC + Levina Williams 1756. But it
also has her married 1815-12-15 to Caleb Reed, and having children in Marshall Co TN at the same time
as Robert Clinkingbeard's children.
Better entries for John + Levina show his Hannah did marry Caleb.

Given that she named a son John Reed Clinkingbeard, it seems a reasonable guess that her father was a John. Early Sevier Co TN land records do show a John Reed, and the 1830 census for Bedford Co TN shows a John Reed age 60-70 two pages away from Robert.

--
According to Ancestry.com's ThruLines I match 13 descendants of John Reed + Levina Williams, but 2 of those are supposedly from Hannah Reed who married Caleb Reed. Eleven of the lines are wrong (Shared Matches show the people are actually related to me through other families (mostly Burnett)). One of the other two has a private tree; their Shared Matches include Clinkingbeard descendants but also Motley, Yandell, Burnett, Miller, and Rigsby. The last has a private tree and only 3 Shared Matches, one Clinkingbeard and two unknown, but one of the unknowns is probably Rigsby.

--
I have a DNA match to a descendant of an Isaac Reed 1796 Knox Co TN. The Clinkingbeards were there, but moved a little east in 1792. Isaac's father was probably an Abraham Reed who arrived in Knox Co TN in 1780 (right before John Clinkingbeard arrived there).

--
There was a Robert Reed c1793 TN who lived in Bedford Co TN at the same time as Hannah. Is he her brother? He had 10 or 11 children, including John 1820, Isaac 1827, and George 1837. Robert seems to have had brothers Andrew and John. He isn't near the Clinkingbeards on the 1830 or 1840 census.

According to the FamilySearch tree his parents were William Clayborn Reed 1763 NC d 1830 Bedford Co TN and Judith Silver. Currently (2014-08-31) they are shown with only one other child, Andrew 1794.

--
She probably second married 1856-11-24 Roswell Blanchard. That marriage was in Laclede Co MO. The 1850 census shows three Hannah Clinkingbeards in Laclede Co. One is wife of this Hannah's son Robert, but she is still with him on the 1860 census. One is Robert's daughter, but she also is still with him on the 1860. The third is this Hannah.
Neither Roswell nor Hannah Blanchard appears on the 1860 census to verify, but there really isn't another Hannah who could have married Roswell.

--
I don't see her on the 1860 census. She must have died by then, or re-married.

1850 census Laclede Co MO p141b, district #45
Hannah Clinkingbeard 49 TN [should be 55]
Isaac N 15 TN
Sarah E 11 TN

Her occupation is not given. His real estate is valued at $200. She cannot read and write.

1840 census Bedford Co TN p22
Robert Clinkenbeard 3 M 5-10, 1 M 10-15, 1 M 15-20, 1 M 50-60, 2 F <5, 1 F 10-15, 1 F 40-50
[x, Isaac 5, James 10, George 14, (David 16 or John 18), Robert 52, Sarah 1, Mary 5, Esther 14, Hannah 45]

1830 census Bedford Co TN p74, twp not stated
Robert Clinkingberg 2 M <5, 2 M 5-10, 1 M 10-15, 1 M 40-50, 1 F <5, 1 F 5-10, 1 F 10-15, 1 F 30-40
[James <1, George 4, David 6, John 8, Robert 13, Robert 42, Esther 4, x, Hannah 11, Hannah 35]

Five lines away is Wm Reed 30-40 s/o Mitchell. Is that Hannah's brother?
There are several other Reeds in Bedford Co, including a John 60-70 on p76. Is that her father?
