Biography

Nancy married Robert B. Russell, 1831 Newton Co., GA. She died a few years later in 1844 and is buried in the Russell Family Cemetery, Henry Co., GA.

The names of their children are believed to be:

  • S. E. Russell (1850 census)
  • Mary Ann Russell Traynham, 1836–1920 (her death cert names Nancy Weaver as mother, also M. A. on 1850 census)
  • Thomas Luther Russell, 1838–1928 (T. L. on 1850 census)
  • Elizabeth Jane Russell Zachry, 1840–1918 (E. J. on 1850 census)
  • Levi Whit Russell, 1842–1864 (L. W. on 1850 census)
  • Nancy Letitia Russell Turner, 1844–1935

Conflation

Robert B. Russell remarried after Nancy Weaver's death. His new wife also had the name of Nancy, surname Robinson. They married around 1846. As a result of Robert having 2 wives named Nancy who were born around the same time, some researchers have assumed there was only one wife and combined both Nancy's into one person.
