Thanks, Eva. I checked Vicky Paulson's book on Hanks' genealogy, and Vicky includes a variety of descriptions of Nancy Hanks:

Dennis Hanks said she was 5' 8" and 130 pounds, bluish-green eyes, highly intellectual.

Presly Neirl Haycraft said Nancy was of good size and comely.

N. W. Bronson said Nancy had a light complexion, dark hair, intelligent and a Christian.

Nathaniel Grigsby said she was 5' 7" with dark hair, light hazel eyes, light complexion, and had an extraordinary strength of mind. She was superior to her husband in every way. She was brilliant, had good sense, and modest.

David Turnham said she was rather above medium height, had rather course features, and was good looking. She weighed about 120 pounds with black hair and blue eyes. She had very good moral habits.

John Hanks said she was tall, slender, dark skinned, black hair and eyes. Her face was sharp and angular with a high forehead. She was an intellectual woman, rather extraordinary. Her nature was kindness, mildness, tenderness, and sadness. He felt Abraham was very much like his mother.
