When Nancy E. "Nannie" Rankin was born in October 1866 in Texas, her father, Daniel, was 29 and her mother, Mary, was 20. Nancy was the first-born child of five brothers and four sisters.
She was found on the 1900 Census for Grayson County, Texas, living with her parents. The census shows her as disabled or handicapped in some way as it states that she could not read, write, or speak. In about 1902, her family moved from Whitesboro, Texas, to Oklahoma Indian Territory in Durant where her father died on December 31, 1903. Neither Nancy nor her mother, Mary Jane, show up on any subsequent census records.
It is believed that Nannie's mother died in about 1905 and Nannie died sometime about 1909, and that they are both are buried in Durant, Bryan County, Oklahoma at the Highland Cemetery in the family plot. This plot was purchased by Mary Jane about the time of the death of her husband, Daniel. The graves of Nancy, Mary Jane, and Daniel do not have headstones or markers. Investigation shows that there are graves of one man, two women, and one male child, buried without markers in the family plot #319.
Daniel Rankin's death prompted the family to make application for an Administrator to settle the estate of Nannie's father, Daniel Wilson Rankin. This application was made on December 14, 1905, by John Delmar Rankin, Nancy's brother, asking the court to grant him Administrator of the estate of their father. It was approved.
Nannie's brother-in-law, Thomas Pleasant Duke, was assigned as guardian of Nannie because of the death of her parents. Guardian records show Nannie as "incompetent" meaning she could not care for herself. Thomas P. Duke was the husband of Nannie's sister, Ollie Mae Rankin. Court records show that Nannie lived with the Duke's in the town of Roberta, Oklahoma, in December 1905. Roberta is an unincorporated town near Durant. In 1910, the Duke's lived in Brown, Oklahoma in Comanche County on the other side of the state. Nancy was not listed on this census record with them nor the census records of any of her other siblings.
