Nancy (William F., Martin, Solomon Jr., Solomon Sr., Thomas) was born around 1848 in Henry County, Virginia, according to census records, but nothing more has been identified about her.  She lived with William while in Cooke County, Texas, and was found on the 1870 Cooke County census, but was not living with them at the time of the 1880 Arkansas census. It’s not known at this time if she stayed in Texas, traveled to Arkansas separately, or died during the 1870s.
