I have a bunch of Nancy's but no entry for Alexander Graves...Will give you what I have and if you think there is any possiblility, we'll look for more...If you can find a census (1850 would have been good if she had not died)....look at all the Whites in the census...note which are living close together by household numbers, and then look at the birthplace of husband or wife, their mother and father's birthplace....It makes it easier to get them "lumped" into families. Another thing is that if the criteria fits, and parent father was born in Va, they are probably from the Richard White,(bunch of sons who went to Tn and NC then down to Ala and Ms) who "started out" (thats as far as most of us have traced them) in Loudoun Co, Va. The ones with SC connotations are a different line, although I do believe we will eventually find they were probably still cousins farther back. Anyway, here are the Nancy's: Nancy White who married on Nov 4, 1847 in Hawkins Co, Tn to James Kirkpatrick. She was dtr of George White, Sr and Mary Hoffmeister. Her brothers George and Jamison born 1815 and 1817. (Era would be right for yours except mar to wrong name). Nathaniel White, Sr, born 1782 Va died 1834 in McMinn Co, Tn had a Nancy after their marriage date of Feb 25, 1807, in Greene Co, Tn Another Nancy born Oct 22, 1820 Hawkins Co, Tn and who died befo Apr 24, 1869, in Clay Co, Ill was mar to John Beal and probably not yours She was dtr of Wm M White Samuel White, Sr and Sarah Nixon White had a Nancy born Apr 6, 1782 in Loudoun Co, Va, but she mar a Nicholas Long. She died abt 1846 . Father died in Hamblen Co, Tn. Benjamin White and Mary had a Nancy born Sep 13, 1790 who mar Eli Tavenner and died in Clark Co, Ohio The ONLY Frances that I have was dtr of Wm White (he was born 1833 in Hawkins Co, Tn and mar to Mary Jane Shepherd...Frances born abt 1850. Several more Nancy's as it was a very popular name, but the time frame does not seem to fit. Sorry I can't help more. (You do realize now mine are the Loudoun Co lines).
