Nancy Byard was born in 1800 and married Jacob Hickman. The couple had five children.
Her husband Jacob died in April 1841, barely three months after their youngest son was born.
Nancy’s age, marriage, and children are documented in the Hickman family bible, in the possession of Robert Bennett, a descendent of Byard's.
"History of Wayne County, IA" contains a biography of Byard Hickman, where he stated his mother was Nancy Byard, originally from Maryland.

Byard (10).
Nancy and her oldest son George were listed as illiterate, while the remaining children were listed in school. She owned property worth $150.

Nancy's place of internment comes from a 1903 receipt for a white marble tombstone that Elizabeth (Hickman) Cross purchased for her mother, to be inscribed:
"Nancy, wife of Jacob Hickman. Died Dec 12 1886. Age 86 years"
The tombstone receipt states the stone is to be placed in Cross Cemetery, Wetzel County, WV. The woman who bought the tombstone, Elizabeth (Hickman), was married to a Nathan Cross, and her address was given as Uniontown, WV. (now Littleton).
