* Nancy married three times
* 1st Husband: Enoch W. Clawson
* Children of Enoch & Nancy
Utis, Fountan, Rosa Bell [Clawson] Kent & [Anetta Clawson] Brinson
* 2nd Husband: William Clauson
* 3rd Husband: Marion Daugherty
* Nancy was a whiz at math as merchants would come to her to do their yearly figures. She was paid with things like ten yards of calico, which sold for 3 to 4¢ a yard. "That was big money in them days." She called night moths "candle flies".
* Per Ida [Kent] Stevens, "There wasn't a lazy bone in grandma up to the day she died." She died as a result of an accident, falling on her back porch. Her son had taken the banister off the porch to make a cellar and Nancy Jane fell. Not a bone broke, but from the shock of the fall she got pneumonia, three days later she passed away.
