- !Her family information was received from John Porter Henson III,1105 Plymouth
Rd.Niles,MI 49120-Ph 616-684-6898.He has her b. 1839.This would make her 14
years old when Moses Jay was b. This is in line with what we were told by our
MO relatives.She was brought home to take care of Jeremiah's kids after he had
shot his second wife.She d.abt three weeks after giving birth to Moses Jay.I
have been able to find the record of Jeremiah's second and fourth m.but not of
Nancy's.She is buried next to Jeremiah and the family acknowledges that she was
m.
I have since found more information on Nancy,I found a census record where she came to MO.with
her brother John C.and is listed as his oldest child (only 9 years difference in their ages).I also found
her death date and where she is buried,6 Sep 1855.This changes the family story,she was 21 when
she died not 15,and she died 9 months after Moses Jay was born,not 3 weeks.
