Biography

Nancy (Lusk) Morgan was an Appalachian.

Nancy was born in 1824 or 1817, (Census says 1817, Death cert states 1824). She died in 1857. [1]

She married David Morgan. [2]

She passed away in 1857. [3]

Research Notes

She goes by Mary or Nancy in the primary sources found. No records of using the name Agnes, but it's everywhere on genealogy sites. It is likely that Nancy (Lusk) Morgan (abt.1817-1857) is a duplicate and that the creators of the profiles were confused by the names/nicknames and the fact that the birthdates on the primary sources are so wildly different.

The 1850 Census shows Nancy's DOB as 1817. Her death certificate says 1824.

The profile currently states her mother is Nancy Lambert, however, her death certificate says her mother's name is Mary, and she would have been born during the marriage of Eli Lusk and Mary Elizabeth (Bailey) Lusk (aft.1795-bef.1845)

Lusk-677 and Lusk-617 appear to represent the same person because: The source material for both Mary and Nancy are the same., and she goes by Mary or Nancy alternatively. There is still a question of who is the mother, but Mary Agnes and Nancy are the same. (Confusing also because the DoB on death cert is 1824, but the DoB on census is 1817. I am more inclined to believe it was 1817 and that whoever furnished the information for death was guessing.

I do not think that Lusk-618 is the correct father for Lusk-617.

West Virginia Deaths and Burials, 1854-1932 records her 07/07/1857 death in Wyoming, West Virginia, USA at age 35 with Father Clint Lusk and Mother Mary. Any other sources that I have seen are not reputable and one source cited I saw was from this actual profile created here. Correct me if I'm wrong. Jennifer

Lusk-657 and Lusk-617 appear to represent the same person because: Appear to be the same person based on marriage date and surname.
