I am trying to determine which Loy line this Nancy Ann comes from. Various sources have her coming from four different Loy lines. William White Elliott was the son of David Elliott who was known to have been part of the Mormon trek through Nauvoo to SLC and layed the cornerstone of the temple in SLC. William and Nancy left the Mormon church and eventually settled in Rio Vista, CA. Does anyone out there have any facts to support which line Nancy Ann comes from?

I do. I corresponded for several years with Nancy Elliott (now deceased), whose husband was a descendant of Nancy (Loy) Elliott. Her documentation supports the fact Nancy Loy was daughter of John and Jane (McCamish) Loy, son of William Loy and Barbara Ann (Albright) Loy, son of John Jr. and Philopena (Sharp) Loy, son of John and Mary (Holt) Loy, son of Martin and Catherine (Foust) Loy. Nancy Ann was born in January 1836 (or 1835) in Randolph Co., IN. Her father John Loy md. 23 July 1835 (Winchester, Randolph Co., IN) {by J. Paul Way, J.P.} Jane McCamish (1814 Greene Co., IN‹1839 [Randolph Co.?] IN) After her parents, John and Jane, died Nancy resided with her uncle and aunt Alexander and Lucinda Foust/Fouts/Phouts, who moved to Henry Co., IA. Nancy is found in the 1850 New London Twp., Henry Co., IA census, age 15, with the Fouts/Fousts and her maternal uncle Reese McCamish, age 18. It was said Nancy was orphaned before turning age 5, although her father's death year shows she would have been at least a few months over age 5. Nancy later left for Salt Lake City, Salt Lake Co., UT in 1852, in the 5th company under Capt. Weimer and was there about the time Margaret (Loy) Clapp and her son Benjamin Clapp were also there. Margaret, of course, was first cousin to Nancy's great-grandfather John Loy, Jr. Nancy Ann Loy md. 7 September 1851 (Mt. Pleasant, [Henry Co.?], IA or Salt Lake City, Salt Lake Co., UT) William White Elliott (12 January 1830 Ithaca, Tompkins Co., NY‹5 January 1887 Rio Vista, Solano Co., CA bur: Masonic Cemetery, "MT, UT, WY") s/o David and Margery (Quick) Elliott. I have info on descendants, which I had published in the book.
