Church about 45 minutes south of Lynchburg and near the metropolis of Naruna. Hat Creek Pres. is the oldest Presbyterian church in that part of Virginia and it has a female Hanks buried there. The headstone is very worn and there is no longer a written record of the woman.

Jim and Bill, you gave me a chance to mention a new book written by one of our forum members, Vicky Reany Paulson. It's entitled Abraham Lincoln's Hanks Family Genealogy. Vicky is a direct descendent of Thomas Hanks, the oldest brother of Lucy Hanks. Her book is for sale on Amazon here and at Barnes and Noble here. Vicky has a website here. Kudos, Vicky!
