1st husband Sylvanus Bennett
When Nancy GREEN appears in the home of her parents in the 1870 Cocke Co, TN census her last name was BENNETT.The three children with her at the time were BENNETTs!
In the 1880 Cocke Co census Nancy BENNETT was a head ofhouse-hold and was living beside her sister and brother-in-law, Millie and William Ramsey.All of the seven children with Nancywere BENNETTs!When her children grew up and married (at least the ones whose marriage records can be found) they used the last name BENNETT!
Nancy later married John Grooms, and when she died in 1915 her last name in the death records was GROOMS.When her children died (those I can find in the records) their father was named as JOHN GROOMS.
Can anyone offer an explanation of how Nancy Green's name became BENNETT?
I'd love to exchange info (and more questions!) on John and Nancy's family.
Thanks for any help.
