Nancy’s paternal ancestors came from Northern Ireland in 1738. Because of taxes they owed the King, George III of England, her great-grandfather, his uncles, and their father were forced to flee Ireland.

Nancy’s mother, Hanna Cloud, was half-Cherokee Indian. Nancy raised 6 daughters and one son, our ancestor, William Knight McDaniel, and most of them remained in the Lewis Co. area.
