Nancy Jane Blakely was born on March 3, 1849, to James Blakely and Phebe (Rogers) Blakely of Hancock County, Indiana.[1] Her mother passed away shortly after giving birth to Nancy.

In 1850, Nancy was one year old and living in the household of her uncle Samuel Blakely and his wife Martha.[2] Also living with Nancy's aunt and uncle at that time was her older sister Phebe, while their older siblings - Elizabeth and Rachel - lived with their widowed father, James.
