Thanks to Lisa Stalnaker for the following information:
Nancy was the daughter of Thomas Needles and Sarah Jane Cubbage.
She and Charles Clymer were married probably in 1785 Delaware (no record has ever been found). They likely began their family in Kent County, Delaware, but first emerge in records with the 1791 purchase of 38 acres of land in Murdkerkill Hundred, Kent County, property which ran along both sides of the Skidmore Branch.
By 1799 they are found in Murley Branch, Allegany County, Maryland. Land records show that over the next few years Charles accumulated property in bits and pieces. Property with colorful names like Luck, Contentment, What’s Left, I Don’t Know What and That’s All. Anita Ockert states that it was a total of 217 acres in her book“The Clymer Clan of Maryland, Delaware and Points West”.”
Evidently that was all for the Clymers in Maryland. In 1804 Charles and his brother Massey ventured across the Ohio River and into the virgin forests of Ohio, and chose as their new home land in Section 32 of Violet Township, Fairfield County. By 1806 they had brought their families in and created a life which was a bit more prosperous and gave them a bit more room than before. It was here their children reached adulthood, married and left home to begin lives of their own.
Of Nancy Clymer, Ockert wrote “From the few records we have of Nancy, she emerges as a faithful wife, supportive of her husband; a loving Christian mother, hard-working and capable”.”
Charles had died so young that Nancy was still carrying their youngest child, who was born about two months following. She named him Fountain. Nancy never remarried, and finished the life that she and Charles had begun together alone. She likely had help from the older children and near relatives. Ockert wrote that “the Clymers, Needles, Cubbages, etc. were a particularly clannish clan. These were families who had been close-knit and intertwined for generations”.
In her Will dated 26 February 1834 "Nancy Clymer of Fairfield County Ohio" left property to her children that was located in Section 8 of Hancock County, Ohio. When and how she acquired this property I cannot say, but it is evident that members of the Clymer family were removing from Fairfield and Franklin counties near the present-day town of Canal Winchester to Hancock County even before Nancy’s death.
Her Will was probated on 7 May 1834. She was probably laid to rest right next to her husband Charles on their home plantation. Their children would leave them, but not their memory, behind as they ventured north and eventually west in pursuit of their own lives. Whatever markers would have located the exact burial locations of Charles and Nancy have long since disappeared.
The children of Charles and Nancy are identified from their Wills. In a particularly touching passage, Nancy leaves a handmade quilt to each of them. It must have taken her years to complete them all.
