Nancy was born about 1830. She passed away about 1880.
Cornelius was shown without a wife in the 1850 census or 1860 census so not sure if Nancy Winchester was the mother of his older children , Nancy is shown in the 1860 census with her mother and Franklin and Sarah , Franklin is listed as a Winchester , 1870 census is shown with Franklin and living with her sister Rebecca and Rebecca's children, Rebecca married one of Cornelius' sons , James Harvey , I do not think that Rebecca would have married her nephew , so i do believe that Cornelius was married to someone else who would be the mother of his older children , in 1880 Nancy was living with her mother and Franklin ..
