Hi Anna, Thank you for your email. I too, would be interested in knowing more about your William "Bill" Nash and his family. My Nash family originated in North Carolina and Kentucky, migrated through Indiana, into Illinois (Clay/Richland, Montgomery, and Menard Counties), and from there into Shannon, Iron, and St. Francois Counties in Missouri. I am the daughter of Alfred Francis Nash and Naomi Marie (Kitchell) Nash from Ironton, Iron County, Missouri. My grandfather was Jesse Clayburn Nash born 1881, Big River Twp., St. Francois County, Missouri, (married Alice Sutton) and my great grandfather was Claiborne Nash born 1835 in Illinois, (married Amanda "Mandy" Nash). Yes, I do believe that my Great Grandparents were actually cousins before their marriage on March 11, 1870, in Richland County, Illinois. My Great Grandmother, Amanda "Mandy" Nash, was the daughter of John W. Nash and wife Hannah. John W. Nash was born about 1812 in Kentucky, and died about 1870 in St. Francois County, Missouri, He and Hannah had eleven children, all raised in Shannon, Iron and St. Francois Counties, Missouri. I actually have 4 NASH families that I am researching, and I do believe that they are four brothers. 1. "UNKNOWN" NASH, father of Claiborne Nash. Claiborne's mother's name was LOUVINA (maiden name unknown), and she was born 1809 in Kentucky. I am assuming that "Unknown" NASH was born between 1800-1809, either North Carolina or Kentucky. I am not sure if "Unknown" NASH died, or if he and Louvina divorced. I do know that I found a 2nd marriage for her in 1847 in Richland County, Illinois, to a Richard M. Pierce. Louvina and "Unknown" Nash had five children. Henry born about 1827, Elizabeth "Betsy" born 1832-1838, Claiborne born 1835, James born about 1837, and Mary born about 1838, all in Illinois. Then Louvina and Richard Pierce had three children. Richard M. Pierce, Jr., Naomi Pierce, and Elijah Pierce. I have been unable to trace "Unknown" Nash after the birth of Mary Nash in 1838, and have been unable to trace Louvina Nash-Pierce after the death of 2nd husband Richard Pierce in 1862, in Richland County, Illinois. 2. John W. NASH, father of my great grandmother Amanda Nash. Census records show that John also used the name of Jack or Jackson NASH, and shows him born about 1812, Kentucky. 3. William NASH, born about 1802, either North Carolina or Kentucky, different records show both states. William was proven to be a NASH cousin through the NASH Family DNA Project. My brother Larry took the DNA Test for our side of the family and we matched a 25 marker Test with the family of George Edward Nash, Jr., of Humansville, Polk County, Missouri. I am in contact with the Great-Great Granddaughter of William's. Her name is Erma Nash - Herrmann. It was William's line who went into Montgomery County, then he was found in Carter County, Missouri, on the 1860 US Census Records. 4. Claiborn NASH and wife Susan. This is the elder Claiborn that I believe that my great grandfather Claiborne Nash was named after. This Claiborn was born between the years of 1780 - 1800, in either North Carolina or Kentucky. I have seen him listed in both states, and know that there are land deeds in Cumberland County, Kentucky for he and wife Susan. As I said, I believe that these four men were actually brothers. I am continually working on this NASH family of mine, and it seems to be my Brick Wall, lol. I do have my family tree posted on Tribal Pages. The website address is: http://www.tribalpages.com/tribes/jdwafford The Password needed to view the website is: Nash Please, by all means, take a look, and see if you can make a match. I currently have over 600 NASH family members, as well as many others from Iron County listed. I would welcome any additional information, family members, and or corrections that need to be made. You may email me directly at: ograndma@sbcglobal.net I currently live in Selma, California, but I do still have family in Missouri. Hope to hear from you and Bill soon, God Bless, Joyce Nash - Wafford ----- Original Message ----- From: "ralph brewer" <brewer1954@earthlink.net> To: <ograndma@sbcglobal.net> Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2007 6:51 PM Subject: Re: [MOIRON] PRAYERS FOR "JANA" ANSWERED > Hi Joyce, noticed your last name is Nash.
