Nancy Hanna was the daughter of Matthew Hanna and Martha Montgomery. On 18 Nov 1806, she became the wife of John Telford McKee, in Rockbridge Co., VA, by Presbyterian minister, George A Baxter.

See their Rockbridge Co., VA filed marriage bond dated 18 Nov 1806 on the side. John McKee, James McKee and Matthew Hanna bound themselves for $50 for the pending marriage of John McKee to Nancy Hanna, Matthew Hanna's daughter. The 3 men sign it, with their signatures.

Married - Last Tuesday by the Rev. George A. Baxter, Mr. John M'Kee, Jun., late a student of Washington Academy, to Miss Nancy Hanna, daughter of Matthew Hanna, Esq., of this place. (p. 1, c. 4) 22 Nov 1806 issue of the Lexington Intelligencer (VA). Tuesday was the 18th.

They became the parents of McKee children, all born in VA:

Jane Telford, 25 Aug 1807 (Matthew Hanna Parry), below
Samuel Wilson, 30 Apr 1809 (Mary Ann Davidson), below
Martha Hanna, 5 Aug 1811 (Madison Dunlap), below
Mary Susan, 7 Mar 1815 (John Calvin Laird), below

They are all listed in the John T McKee bible, including Nancy's birth date.

Her daughter Martha Hanna is named for her mother. I'm not sure where Samuel's middle name, Wilson, came from. although a sibling married a Wilson.

According to the 5 Jan 1898 issue of the Lexington Gazette, page 2: "Among Mrs. McKee's descendants are 3 ministers named Laird and two, Rev. Harvey Gilmore and son. I know 10 elders of this connections, and there are probably more."

She is buried beside husband John Telford McKee. Her old marker still laying flat on the ground (where cows used to roam over it) says:
In
memory of
NANCY H. McKEE
wife of
John T. McKee
who died on the
___rd day of April
__47 in the 68th
