She was one of 12 children of Bailey Roach, Sr., and Nancy Perkins of Madison Co., Ky. Her sister, Louisa (1832-1883) never married and lived with Nancy. All 12 were born in Madison Co., on Silver Creek. Two brothers of Nancy lived in Anderson Co - (1) Allen L. Roach (1821-1899) m 1. Amanda Million 2. Mrs. Sarah (Jones) Herndon*, widow of Coleman Herndon* - these Herndons were from Shelby Co. (2) Bailey Roach, Jr. (1835-1902) m Letitia Herndon dtr of Coleman Herndon* and Sarah Jones* of Shelby Co., Ky. *Isn't that a interesting family connection <G> In 1855 in Madison Co., Ky., Deed Book 9, a deed lists all twelve children of Bailey Roach, Sr. who died in Madison Co in 1850. His widow Nancy (Perkins) Roach bc 1788 Louisa Co., Va. and died in Anderson Co., Ky - 19 Aug 1858. She was the daughter of Anthony Perkins and Agatha "Aggy" Pullium You might see on the internet that the wife of Bailey Roach, Sr. was Mary Anthony Perkins - this is incorrect. Also, Bailey is not related to the old Thomas Roach who lived in eastern Madison Co., on the Estill Co. border. I don't have much on the descendants of these folks and would love to know more. Anne
