In the early 1830's Nancy may have been previously married, as daughter Louise appears to have been born nearly 2 years before her marriage to John Fortune Sherman.
1826 - 1837 Nancy lived in Hancock County, Georgia. She then moved to Stewart County, Georgia.
Most of the dates for this family are from the family Bible of one of her son George’s children.
