• Notes

  Nancy and Thomas had six children: one unknown, William b. 1875, Kern/Curn b. 1877, Arve b. 1880, Lula Elizabeth b. 1883, and Sam b. 1887. The 1850 Searcy County, AR (Calf Creek Township) has Nancy listed with J.P. Dean and Martha E. Dean, her parents and another female child named Martha. Nancy was five months old at this time. Her grandparents, Jonathan and Mary Dean live in Wiley's Cove Township, same county. The 1860 Searcy County census has Nancy, now 9, living with the Martin Dean family. Her older sister, Martha, and her grandmother, Mary Dean, are also living with Martin's family. Nancy's mother died in 1855, her grandfather, Jonathan, died in 1853. Her father, Jonathan "Jack" Parker Dean joined the Civil War and died as a soldier in 1863. Mary Dean must have died within months of the census in 1860, or remarried in her old age. Nancy lost both parents and, probably, both grandparents by 1863. Nancy would have been twelve at that time. She is listed with Martin Dean's family in 1860 so I'm going to assume (with an open eye) they lived with his family until adulthood or marriage.
