I have not found any records that confirms her maiden name as Sims. It is unlikely that she has a sister named Nancy Rebecca Sims (Sims-1329} whose maiden's name has been confirmed by two sources to be Sims...
so most likely this Nancy is NOT the correct daughter for William Sims and Elizabeth (Milner) Sims... She is listed in the 1850 census with husband... Nancy Rebecca is listed with the 1850s with William and Elizabeth Milner
