Biography

Nancy Anna Sullivan (c. 1775-1829), parents unknown, was born in the "Natches Territory, Near Natches Fort" ^{[citation needed]} presumably in what is now Mississippi. Her date of birth is estimated to be about 1775 based on her marriage date and on the age of her youngest child at her death. Since her youngest was born in 1822, Nancy cannot have been born much earlier than about 1772. If she married in 1795, she cannot have been born after 1779.

Find a Grave Memorial 70930072 has her born in 1778 in Calhoun County, Mississippi, USA. ^[1]

She married James Simmons in Opelousas, Louisiana in 1795. ^{[citation needed]}

Children:

1. Stephen Simmons (1813)^[2]
2. Mary Simmons (1818)^[2]
3. Abner Simmons (1823)^[2]

Nancy Sullivan Simmons died in 1829 in Opelousas, Louisiana. She had three minor children at the time. ^[2]
