Living in Nicholasville area, Jessamine Co., KY, 1860. Two of her children, who were living with her in 1860, are in Maple Grove Cem., Nicholasville, established 1849. So it seems possible she might be among the unmarked graves in that location. But the grave of her husband, who died 1823, in the Nicholasville area, Jessamine Co., has also been lost. So it's possible she may have been buried near him.
