BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY CHILDREN LISTED FOR THEM. THIS WAS THE 2ND MARRIAGE FOR NANCY. IN THIS SAME BOOK NANCY'S FIRST MARRIAGE IS LISTED AS: SEPT. 8, 1823 - RICHARD WOOD & NANCY (FANNIE) BRAMMER. SUR. JOHN BRAMMER. MINISTER STEPHEN HUBBARD. MARRIAGE RECORDED SEPT. 9, 1823 THIS IS GETTING REALLY COMPLICATED AND I NEED TO GET IT ALL TOGETHER!! IF HER 1ST HUSBAND, RICHARD WOOD, DIDN'T DIE UNTIL 1859 THEN SHE DIDN'T MARRY NELSON MORAN IN 1839. I'LL HAVE TO TRY TO FIGURE THIS OUT AND GET BACK TO YOU. I REALLY NEED TO SEE THE MARRIAGE BONDS FOR MYSELF! IF YOU COME UP WITH ANYTHING PLEASE LET ME KNOW. Barb S.
