Nancy was the fifth of 13 children born to John and Elizabeth Collins Burnside. She married John Law on March 23, 1834 in Harrison County, VA (now WV). She and John raised seven children, two of whom died of dysentery in October of 1849 (William, age 5; Rebecca, age 3).
Between 1847 and 1850, the family moved to Smoke Camp on the head waters of Freeman's Creek in Lewis County. In 1860, John received a local preaching license from the Methodist Episcopal Church. Services were held in their home until the congregation became too large. In 1876, John and Nancy sold land for building a place of worship (for $1). John and his sons, Moses and Calvin, then built Law Chapel Methodist Church. John was the first pastor. The church was dedicated to the Methodist Episcopal Conference in 1878, and ordained preachers began holding services there.
Nancy is buried by her husband in the cemetery behind the chapel.
