There is not much information on her, however. She was the daughter of John Downs and Mary Hines who were married Nov. 13, 1828 at Ross County, Ohio. They came to Tippecanoe County before 1850 and later moved to Carroll County. Nancy Downs was born 1831 and was married to Wesley Brooks, Oct. 5, 1854. A note for her says: "there is a possibility that she married for the second time to John Turner." No other information is given for Nancy Downs. Other children of John Downs and Mary Hines were: Nelson, b. 1834, d. Mar. 20, 1900; married 1) Elizabeth Yount, and 2) Mizetta Rodgers. William b. 1835 Jane b. 1837 James b. 1840 Eli b. 1841, m. Caroline ____ Sarah b. 1845 Albert b. July 1848, d. March 6, 1940 at Carroll County, Ind., married Sarah Jane Bingham. Sorry I couldn't be more help to you.
