- TCS Note 6/6/2015: Thurmon's database suggests that Jane is buried in "Methodist/Episcopal Church Cem." The text above indicates she was buried in "the old cemetery of Medina," but the footnote at the site where Thurmon obtained the information says Spring Grove Cemetery, Medina. There are two municipal cemeteries in Medina: Spring Grove Cemetery and Old Town Graveyard. The latter dates to 1818, while Spring Grove was created in 1883. Old Town Graveyard is adjacent to St. Paul's Episcopal Church on East Liberty Street in Medina.

| Notes |
- From Keziah Jane Mc Combs? obituary below we see that she was raised by a man named Brewster. The following 1840 census may provide clues to the Brewster in question as Jane would be indicated by the female from 15-20.
In Keziah?s daughter Catherine?s marriage to Harold Harden, Keziah is named as ?Kizah J. Hews?.
The 1840 Sharon, Medina County, Ohio census (M704_412, page 192) shows Comfort Brewster with one male 20-30 and one 40-50. There is one female 15-10 and one 40-50.
However the 1830 Huntingon Township, Chittendon, Vermont (M19_186, page 294), census has Comfort Brewster with one male of ten and under 15, one of fifteen and under 20 and one of 30 and under 40. One female is five and under 10, and one is 30 and under 40. The female in the 1840 census could still be the one in the Vermont census who is five and under 10 and not Keziah Jane. For purposes of further research, the 1850 Sharon census is given below.
The 1850 Sharon Township, Medina County census (Roll 709, page 312) has Comfort Brewster, a farmer who is 58 years old. Marsha is 55 and Aheisa is 26.Value of real estate owned is $2600. All three were born in Vermont. Comfort?s occupation is not that of minister as the is that of the Brewster mentioned in her obituary.
Census information indicates that Jane's mother was born in Pennsylvania and her father in Ohio.

Obituary, Medina County Gazette, 17 July 1891
Mrs. Jane Hitchcock
Mrs. Jane Hitchcock was born in Wooster, Ohio, April 22, 1825. In early life her home was with a minister of the Methodist Episcopal church, whose name was Brewster. She was married to George Hitchcock in 1848 and became the mother of three sons and four daughters, three of whom are deceased. Her husband and one son were members of the great Union army that saved the nation and its flag and in the hard fought battle of Rapadan, of which the writer personnally knows, the son was added to the slain and the death of this soldier boy crushed the mother?s heart in all the years that followed.
Mrs. Hitchcock was a member of the Medina M. E. church and her old pastor, the Rev. B. J. Hoadley, assisted by Rector Harding, conducted the funeral of the deceased, and her body on Friday last was burried in the old cemetery of Medina. Her death took place on Wednesday, July 8, 1891.
Mrs. Hitchcock was greatly attached to her family and beautiful home, where tender ministration made the descent to the tomb an easy one. For years an invalid and sickness coupled with sorrow, kept her retired from society. All who knew her recognized her worth, and sympathized with her in her trials.
TCS Note 6/6/2015: Thurmon's database suggests that Jane is buried in "Methodist/Episcopal Church Cem." The text above indicates she was buried in "the old cemetery of Medina," but the footnote at the site where Thurmon obtained the information says Spring Grove Cemetery, Medina. There are two municipal cemeteries in Medina: Spring Grove Cemetery and Old Town Graveyard. The latter dates to 1818, while Spring Grove was created in 1883. Old Town Graveyard is adjacent to St. Paul's Episcopal Church on East Liberty Street in Medina. [1]
