Nancy Steward was born about 1797 in Tennessee. She and her husband John York married in Tennessee on 02 Jun 1816, and their first child, Andrew Jackson York, was born there the following year on 08 Apr 1817.

The little family then moved to Alabama, where the following children were born:
Jane York, 10 Jan 1819
Wesley C. York, 12 Feb 1821
Uriah F. York, 19 Apr 1823
William Carroll York, 10 Oct 1825
John S. York, 24 Nov 1827
Martha Ann York, 21 Feb 1830
Mary Ann or Marian Francis York, 11 Jun 1832
Felix W. York, 23 Jan 1834
Charles Martin York, 13 Sep 1837

Before 1840, John, Nancy, and their younger children moved to Jackson County, Arkansas. It is not known just when either John or Nancy died or where they are buried, but both died after 1850 and probably before 1860.

The names and birth dates of their children come from correspondence between two of their grandchildren, James William York, 1858-1936, son of Felix W. York, and a granddaughter of Martha Ann York Gibson.

Please note: John Gratison York is not, never was, and never will be a son of Nancy Steward and her husband, the John York born 15 Jan 1796. They never lived in the same place, or even in the same state at the same time. John Gratison had his own family, his father probably being the William York who lived near him. Please stop trying to force people into families they don't belong to. They deserve to have their OWN families found.
