Then we have our GGGGrandmother Nancy Jane Hooten she married Benjamin Harmon on Oct. 12, 1856 in Boone County, Missouri she was born in Madison County, Kentucky between the 7th and 14th of Nov.,1837 and died in Boone Co.,Missouri on June 28, 1903. Nancy and Mary were sisters. Nancy's granddaughter married Mary's son. In 1880 Sarah Marley is on the census with Daniel and Mary as Daniel's mother in-law. Nancy's grandson has a letter that Nancy wrote her mother in 1857 it was sent to Sarah Marley and in the letter it calls her mother. The letter also mentioned a brother Jesse Hooten who went down south with Nancy's husband Ben. We don't know who Nancy's and Mary's father was. On Mary's death cert. it said her father was Mr. Houten. Any help would be great! Thank you Mary
