NANCY's MOTHER, "Sarah Jennings", was born in 1730 @ Hanover Co., VA. She was one of 10 Children. She died in 1782 @ Nottoway Co., VA.
Her Father was: "Col. William Henry Jennings" (1676-1775) who was born in England. He was the youngest son of 'Humphrey & Mary Milward Jennens' & was a British officer who came to Virginia to assist in the fight against the Indians.
Her Mother was: "Mary Jane 'Polly' Pulliam Jennings" (1704-1774) who was born @ Hanover Co., VA to 'James & Mary Pulliam'.
"Mary Jane 'Polly' Pulliam" was thought to have "perhaps" been Col. William Henry Jennings' 2nd. wife because of the 28-year-age-difference between them. They married on 1-24-1724 @ Hanover Co., VA.
