Biography

Nancy is listed as eight months old in the 1850 census that was taken in mid-September. A birth month of January is only an approximation.

The death date of "April 1870" here is based on the growing theory that Nancy Emeline was the first wife of Milton Trimble. Her son William said to his children that his mother died when he was three weeks old. (He was born at the end of March 1870.)

For a discussion of the rationale linking Nancy Emeline to the Milton Trimble family, including DNA notes, see the linked page for alleged son William Thomas Trimble,

• Paternal relationship is confirmed by a triangulated group on GEDmatch who share a 22 cM segment on chromosome 14, consisting of F Lewis, GEDmatch kit # A616565, and WRY, half her 3rd cousin, GEDmatch kit # A265837, and SQ, half her 3rd cousin 1x removed, GEDmatch kit # TJ4009982. (WRY and SQ are her 3rd cousins 1x removed.) Their most-recent common ancestor is Thomas Copelin, the 2x great grandfather of both F Lewis and WRY and 3x great grandfather of SQ. Each of these three testers descends from a different wife of Thomas.
