Hello, I also want to add something to what Larry said pertaining to the name of Nancy. I don't know why, but "Nancy" was a familiar (family) nickname for women named Agnes and Eleanor back in the late 1790's and the turn of the century. Maybe there was a famous person named Agnes or Eleanor in history who was called "Nancy" and this accounts for it??? Whatever the case may be, you may want to try looking for either of those two names and seeing if you can find a match. Good Luck. Sandy Sturdivant << Hello: For a moment, I thought I might be able to help you, but cant locate your Nancy. I am a Wear \ Weir descendant and my ancestors lived in McMinn County. I also have a book on Wear \ Ware \ Weir and Wier. I looked up all women named Nancy in all four name categories. I did not find one that matched the one you are seeking. Larry Wilson >>
