Biography

One of her 3 husbands last name was Creech. Some say Jonathan others say Elijah. Need sources to verify.

Vitals

Nancy Wells Brewster
BIRTH: 1806 Virginia, USA
DEATH: 1870 (aged 63–64) Kentucky, USA
BURIAL: Roberts-Watson-Creech Cemetery, Campton, Wolfe County, Kentucky, USA
MEMORIAL ID: 106849506

Nancy was the daughter of William T.Wells and Susanna Ward. She married unknown Creech. My grandma Laura Jane Creech said his name was Mort Creech. I have found some mention of Mort while researching,but can't validate at this time. Some reports say Mort and she divorced and he moved to AK. There is a Mort Creech that fits criteria as in location,dates etc, but no way to prove it. On her son Jonathan's marriage certificate J. Creech is listed as his father and on his death certificate his father is named as Jonathan Creech. Nancy had 2 children by this unknown Creech, Jonathan, and Ward. They are listed in the 1850 VA census. Benjamin is listed as well, but I believe he is the son of her Tomkins husband.

She is listed as Nancy Tomkins in census, living with above mentioned children. She then marries William Brewster and they move to Owlsley county. They are listed in several more censuses living next to adult children Jonathan and Ward and their families.

Wells-18458 and Wells-1601 appear to represent the same person because: I created Wells-18458 in error. At the time, I was looking at the following record: "Pedigree Resource File," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/2:2:3JSW-72W : accessed 10 May 2019), entry for Ward Beecher Creech, cites sources; "Burke Family Tree April 2018" file (2:2:2:MM6Z-PL9), submitted 29 April 2018 by Eburke31 [identity withheld for privacy].

I adopted the profile good catch. I looked at his profile. Looks like he was married before Nancy.

I'm not sure if you noticed but Tompkins was only married for a month and had 10 kids. Is this correct?

This profile is in need of sources. Some sites claim William and Susan (Ward) Wells as parents. Others say she was the daughter of Zachariah and Abigail (Osborne) Wells. None of the sites has verified documents.
