Biography

Gene R. Collins' Note: Nancy Jane Midkiff's first husband Wilson Tucker Gregory and John Heny Walker were best friends prior to and during the American Civil War. After serving for about a year and a half, Wilson was killed in action during the Battle of Seven Pines, Virginia in 1862 or died later as a result of wounds or of a contacted disease in Chimborazo Hospital in Richmond, VA on 15 Sep 1862. Actual cause of his death is uncertain. There is also conflict in his actual date of death, one source records his death date as 07 Jul 1862 and another source list it as 15 Jul 1862. After the war ended, and with two small children to raise, she married her late husband's best friend, John Henry Walker.

Source: Marie B. Mitchell - In the twilight years of her life, Nancy Jane Midkiff lived with and was cared for by her son, Thomas B. Gregory.

Nancy was born in 1840. She passed away in 1925.
