Biography

According to the 1850 census, Nancy was born about 1799 in Kentucky.^[1] She cannot have been born too much after that as she married Uriah Clark 28 Jul 1816 in Franklin County.^[2]

Uriah and Nancy had at least 6 children:

• John
• Daniel
• Elizabeth
• Cornelius
• Martha
• Sarah J. "Sallie"

who are named during probate of Uriah's estate^[3] and in numerous land deeds sorting out his property amongst the children and widow. The 1830^[4] and 1840^[5] census suggest there may be additional children who were not named in the probate records.

After Uriah's death, Nancy continued to live in Perry Township. In the 1860^[6] and 1870^[7] census, she is with her son Cornelius.

According to the Franklin County, Ohio Will Record, Nancy died 9 Sep 1878.^[8] Her death is not recorded in Franklin County, however the will was signed 28 Aug 1878, she died not quite 2 weeks later, and her will mentions the bedstead she used in her last sickness, so it's likely she did die at home in Perry Township.
