Daughter of William Tune & wife Lurana Scurlock Tune of Halifax County, Virginia. Mary's father died circa 1830 & after his estate was settled Mary, her mother & siblings moved to Bedford County, Tennessee where I believe she met and married Clement Nance before his death in 1841 in Ray County, Missouri. Their children were named in the biography of son Thomas Nance as William T., Thomas H., Mary, Reuben & Clement. Daughter Mary and son Clement were not found on the 1850 census with mother Mary.
While in Ray County, Missouri in the January Term 1844 Court we find Mary H. Nance is found "to be of unsound mind and incapable of of managing her affairs". Nathan Schools was appointed her guardian but refused to pay the Bond. In the February Term 1844 Court Mary's brother-in-law Bird Nance was appointed her guardian and the court ordered him to sell Mary's property to the highest bidder. I believe this is when Mary returned to Bedford County, Tennessee, as her son Thomas' bio states he was age seven when he moved to Tennessee.
I believe Mary is buried in the Parsons Cemetery where her sons William & Clement are buried. She was last seen on the 1850 census in District 6, Bedford County, Tennessee with sons William, Thomas & Clement & living next door to her brother John Tune & family.
Rest in peace.
