Was this later marriage to satisfy the county or some such thing? This Nancy also seems as though she must have been divorced, as her first husband did not seem to die until about 1866 or so, 3 years after she seems to have married Rowe. She and James Rowe were in the 1870 census together and had several children, the first born in about May 1867. Can you shed any light on this mystery? Thanks.
