She was buried in 1816 in St. Patrick's, Church of Ireland, Newry, Co. Down. Ireland. Jane Wallace, was a descendant of the famous Scottish hero William Wallace's brother Malcom Wallace. Hence the great pride in "the aristocratic Hannas of Newry."
From "Irish Pedigrees, Vol. II, John O'Hart" "This old family, whose ancestor held a command under Gustavus Adolphus, in the Bohemian war of 1620, tracing to the Scottish stem of "Hannay," became established a century and a half ago at Newry. They acquired property in the county Down, by intermarriage with the Wallaces' of Crobane ; and their descent from thence is, as follows : I. William Hanna (b. circa l731, d . 1807) mar. Jane, dau. of Robert Wallace, Esq.; of Newry (by his wife Jane (1) Stuart, whose mother, Mary Scott , was a descendant of Mary Scott,* of. Harden, celled- brated as "The Flower of Yarrow"), and granddaughter of James Wallace, Esq., of Crobane, by his wife Anne Ross. Sources;
