Nathaniel Ankney was the son of Samuel Ankney and Elizabeth Swingley. At the age of four years Mr. Ankney was brought to Mount Morris by his widowed mother, with a party of emigrants from Maryland, the trip being made overland by teams and requiring over a month. They arrived in the spring of 1837 and Mr. Ankney continued to live in Mount Morris the rest of his life except for about nine years that he spent at an early day in Mississippi and California. He was engaged in farming from 1866 to 1883, when he moved to town and followed his trade of carpenter. In 1869 he married Margaret Mumma, daughter of Shafer and Naomi Mumma, and they had one daughter, Mae.
