According to Fannie BRAMMER's tombstone at Wood's Gap, she died 30 Aug 1830. Is there more than 1 Nancy BRAMMER? If she died in 1830, she probably did not marry Nelson MORAN in 1839. IF that happened then my family is scarier than I thought. Does any body have any information of the parents of either nancy and/or Fannie? Terri Grote
