An article from the Beckley Post dated Aug 26 1950 states that Jeremiah and Nancy had 12 sons and 2 daughters. I've found the 10 of the 12 sons and both daughters but it goes on to say that some of the childrens names of Jeremiah and Nancy were "William, Thomas, James, Lewis, John, Daniel, Anthony, Phillip, Liza, Rufus, and Preston"
That same article says that Nancy lived to be 104 and died in 1909 and the headstone says she died in 1900.
