I believe she is the sister of my ggg grandfather, Abram Gault. His records all burned when the county courthouse burned in Dodge Co., WI. My hope is to find the name of the parents. Nancy is living with her son in 1900 in Shelby, Blue Earth Co., MN. There are no death records for her in that county though she is buried in Shelby. Nancy is 87 years old in 1900. I am assuming she died shortly after that time. Her son's name was Allen Benjamin Merrell, her husband's name was Zenus Allen Merrell. Any assistance will be most appreciated. Karen
