Nancy Unknown is currently listed as one of the two wives of Joseph Rutledge who had been born in Amelia County, Virginia.  His first wive, Mary Paschal  had been born in Amelia County,Virginia, married Joseph in 1770 and died in  1819.  Joseph had died in 1814.  Nancy was born 1in 1781, so unless Joseph was a bigamist, I doubt that Nancy was ever married to him.  The births of the children they seem to have in common need to be investigated.  Henry Lewis Rutledge and Lucy Rutledge were both born after Joseph passed away.

Possibly there is a 2nd Joseph Rutledge, so Nancy has been linked to the wrong person.
