I have also been looking into this and found the same thing that Connie did. I have a guess that Benjamin Jones was the father. I can't be sure. I guess if I knew when Nancy died I could look her obit, if there is one, up at Depauw library and see if it mentions a husband. I would need to know where and exactly when she died.
