:1850 Census. Nancy was living with her parents, Martin and Martha along with five of her siblings in Fayette, Fayette, Alabama. The census shows she was 10 at the time and born in Alabama. Her siblings were listed as Lucinda, Elizabeth, Sarah, Sa (I think this must be Sue) and Jackson Pennington. I do not know who Jackson's parents are since he was 20 at the time. It shows what everyone was born in Alabama except for Martin and he was born in South Carolina.[1]
