Unverified data found at Genforum (Biddle family).
There is a Stephen Biddle in Fleming Co. KY with a date of birth that is appropriate for him to be Nancy Nancy Price Tracy's 2nd husband.
Stephen's wife Mary died in Jan. 1822 in Fleming Co. Kentucky.
Nancy's 1st husband had apparently died by 1813.
Nancy m. Stephen Biddle in 1824 in Fleming Co. Kentucky.

Source for birth location: 1880 census record for her son Bazil Tracy. ^[1]

1810 Kentucky Census index (reference KY 288):
2 males under 10 years old (Bazil & Vezey?)
2 males between 10 & 16
1 male between 26 & 45 (presumably John. This would place his birth date between 1765 & 1784)
3 females under 10
1 female between 10 & 16
1 female between 16 & 26 (eldest daughter?)
1 female between 26 & 45 (presumably Nancy)

2nd marriage to Stephen P. Biddle
June 10, 1824 in Fleming County, Kentucky (officiated by Walter Warden) ^[7]
Fleming Co. Kentucky marriage records, (Fleming County, Kentucky Courthouse)

The following children of husband Stephen Biddle cannot be Nancy Ann Price's children since she did not marry Stephen Biddle until 1824:

Martha (1798-1870)

Betsy Biddle (b. 1799)

Mary Ann Biddle (1801-1867)

Ann Biddle (1802-1809)

Jane Biddle (b. 1803)

John Pennington Biddle (1805-1892)

Elizabeth Biddle (1807-1864)

Henry Biddle (b. 1809)

Thomas Biddle (1810-1882)

Stephen Pennington Biddle (1813-1880)

Elias Biddle (1815-1888)

Robert Pennington Biddle (1816-1892)

Ruth Biddle (b. 1819)

These children are most likely from Mary Pennington (1777-1822) who married Stephen Biddle (1769-1861) in 1795 in Cecil, Maryland and died in 1822.
