Biography

Nancy Harrison Moore was born 31 Aug 1844 in Tazewell, Tennessee. She married Pleasant Green Whitaker. Nancy took Hamilton to Rolla, Missouri to see his father who had joined the Union army. She would birth their second child Pleasant Robert two days before his father died. No one in the family would know where he died or was buried until Olive Fern (Pearson) Whitaker discovered the information in the 1980's. Nancy would remarry John Needham who was by all accounts of her children and others an abusive man. John's first wife (name unknown) is the mother of the Meeke Needham and Toney Needham listed with Nancy on the 1880 census. She would have two more children, James Blanchard Needham and John Needham. The elder John Needham abandoned the family 14 Jul 1881. She would legally divorce him in 1901. The 1900 census shows her living with her son John and his wife Ida. The 1910 census lists her as widowed and living alone, next door to her son Hamilton Booker Whitaker. In 1907 until her death she received a pension from the military for Pleasant Green Whitaker's service.
