Nancy married Elijah T. Sparks on 2, Jan. 1865, in Lebanon, Indiana. This is consistent with the obituary of her 2nd husband Wm. Thornton Adams. Her parents, according to some information, moved to Missouri in 1866. In the 1870 census, Nancy is in the household of her parents, without Elijah. It is not known what happened to him.
