Eddie, I am interested in the name of Nancy Pratt. The name I gleaned from the divorce docs for Nathan Skinner was Marcy. I can see how Nancy would be a possibility. I looked again (I have copies) and the old writing is very difficult to read. However, it does look as if the name was Marcy. But, I suppose I could conclude that whoever wrote the docs was consistent with their penmanship. He blames her for drinking, neglecting the children, and sleeping around. He includes the name of several, (I think three) men. Two names can be determined and the third could not, as I recall. The timing for the marriage would be right. Do you have any proof of the NC connection and this marriage?

Jan. 29, 1779 Chowan Co., NC; d. Oct. 28, 1846 of congestive fever in Stewart Co., TN; m. Nancy Pratt 1803; moved to Davidson Co., TN in 1804 then to Stewart Co., TN; joined the Methodist Church in 1830. Also if you go to USGenWeb>KY>Trigg Co. there are articles "Echoes From the Past" by Judy Maupin and under the article "George Brandon," there is a paragraph about Nathan Skinner. You also had an Adaline Etheridge Walker who m. #2 Richard L. Lancaster (1835- 1907). His #2 marriage was to Emily Frances Carney (1848-?) and they had two children: 1) Sarah Lancaster (1876-1917) who m. Henry Austin Wallace (1871-1941); 2) George Walker Lancaster (1884-1972) If the name Emily Frances Carney seems familar..... she first m. Napolean Joice, Jr. (1839-?). Richard Lancaster from above is the son of George Walter Lancaster (1885-?) & Callie Ruth Whitford. George W.'s parents were Nelson Alexander Lancaster (1853-1938) & Angelne Hensley b. 1861. Nelson's parents were Elijah Lancaster (1829-1908) and Elizabet Clauson (1831- 1908). If you want anymore info on the Lancasters I have the full birth & death dates, place, marriage, etc. Hope it helps to make you feel part of it all!
