(Nancy was widowed and living with at least 3 children. The name of Elizabeth Williams at age 21 is of an unknown relationship. Could this have been a previously unknown daughter of Enoch and Nancy? Or was she a niece from another relative? Her name was not listed on the strange 1850 US Census in which the children were enumerated as all living in a dwelling separate from the parents.)
.

• She was buried after 17 March 1878 in the Sallis Cemetery in Sallis, MS.
