In the 1870 census she is taking care of her grandson,Paschal Hamlin , now an orphan, son of Paschal Hamlin Mary Parker. We have not found her burial place , but in the 1880 census she is 70 years old and living with her youngest son John Parker and his family in Lick Mountain, Conway , Arkansas. It is doubtful she remarried and most likely died in Conway County, Arkansas about 3 JAN 1886 at which time her son Elijah Parker pension was discontinued.
