Note: I have been asked by several to provide evidence that this Nancy McFarland was the same Nancy who married Zenas Lindley since there has been no record found of the marriage. I got the information from an appendix to a book written about the Lindley family stating that it was a high probability this Nancy McFarland was the Nancy who married Zenas due to their families living in the same area, and due to other family ties. Nancy's brother Abel McFarland married Sarah Lindley (sister of Zenas). Sometimes all you have is circumstantial evidence where there are no records to prove or disprove theories.
Update: Recent DNA evidence now proves this theory to be highly likely since I do share DNA with descendants of at least 3 of Nancy McFarland's siblings (William, Daniel, and Abel McFarland) which has me convinced that Zenas's wife was indeed Nancy McFarland as stated.
