Biography

Nancy, Joseph's wife, was a May. Nancy was born 06 Feb 1783. She would have been a contemporary of Frederick May. Frederick May and Joseph Axsom seemed to have appeared in Surry County at about the same time. Frederick May and the Axsoms were neighbors. Frederic's son, William, signed the marriage bond for Samuel David Axsom, Axsom and May children shared the same names, etc.

Joseph married Nancy May about 1803. After Joseph’s death in 1833, Nancy was allotted 1/3 of Joseph’s land as her dower. It is not known how long Nancy remained on the home place. She was listed as living in Marsh Township on the 1850 Surry census. Marsh Township is in present-day Surry County. Nancy obviously moved to be closer to sons, Martin and Joseph. Nancy died on Christmas Eve in 1854.

She is buried in the Axsom Family Cemetery, which is located on land that was owned by Martin. Joseph's burial place is unknown; however, it is likely in present-day Yadkin County.
