Married David H. Feathers on 5 Jun 1843 in Wisconsin.

Died at age 35 traveling west with her family in a wagon train.

Excerpt from Nancy's letter to her sister-in-law, Mary Ann (wife of her brother, A. H. Willard, Jr.), dated 12 Jun 1859 - location 150 miles east of Ft. Laramie:

"Dear Sister, I thought I would let you know that we were coming, we have one four-horse team and two two-horse teams, and one ox team and 26 head of cattle and fifteen loose horses, and nine men and ten women and children. I have not been very well for the first two weeks on account of having too much to do. Mr. Feathers health is very poor, not able to do any thing but drive his own team. One little item of news I did not tell you before that our Nell was married. She married a man that lived in the family two years. There is a very large emigration a crossing the plains this year, and about forty-thousand head of cattle. There will be a great speculation to be made on Humbolt in buying broken down stock this year. We have been four weeks coming from St. Joseph, four and sixty, so you may judge what time we will be on the Humbolt. We would be very much pleased to meet some of you there. Our train so far is in good condition. We have just been ten weeks from Elk Grove to here. Mr. Deek[?] Palmer a friend of Mr. Feathers is with us and also his family. I will close my letter, my love to Mother, Father and all. Nancy A. Feathers"

(Nancy died two months after this letter was written while traveling west in wagon train. Her burial place is unknown at this time, probably in Utah.)
