Biography
Nancy was born about 1780. She passed away about 1808.
Research Notes
Her marriage record shows her LNAB as "Atkins". There are no sources that confirm that is should be "Adkins" or if she was related to Sarah "Sally" Adkins, Absolom's second wife. Needs more research.

Their marriage record: "Virginia, Vital Records, 1715-1901", database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-99LX-MHJ7?cc=4149585 : 21 November 2022), > image 1 of 1.
Apparently Nancy was Absolom's first wife. When she passed, Absolom married Nancy's half-sister Sarah "Sally". I haven't confirmed the half-sibling story I've read but can confirm he married Sally (Source: "Virginia, Vital Records, 1715-1901", database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-99LX-MHJ2?cc=4149585 : 21 November 2022), > image 1 of 1.)
Family lore says that while married to Sally, Absolom had an affair with another sister, Pheobe, who was married to William Parsons. This went on for years and they had a son together. Apparently Pheobe's husband took the son and gave him to Absolom to raise.
