My direct ancestor Nancy Jane Hansbrow married Ellis/Elias Wigginton the s/o Nathaniel Wigginton by his second marriage to Mary McLain widow of Augustus Talley, I haven't traced this line much until today when I was going over my old notes and found one that said the person who had sent the info thought the first wife might have been either a Boykin or a Hansbrough--my direct paternal lines. So I've spent the day on ancestry prowling census, death, birth and yes even online trees trying to figure this out. I found no mention of the first wife other than ???. There obviously was one because of the children born before his marriage to Mary Talley (Nee McLain). So now it's your turn. Do any of you recognize this family and can you tell me anything about them, especially the children of the first marriage and of course the name of ??? And if you know something about the ancestry of Nancy Jane Hansbrow I'd be plum delighted!
