Ahnentafel #895 - Nancy (--?--)


Nancy (--?--)

Some genealogical notes call her Nancy Price, others indicate that Mary Price was Samuel's first wife and Nancy Barnes was his second. There is one genealogy that calls her Dorcas Nancy (Barnes) (Price) Hocker, wife of Philip Hocker.  Convoluted to say the least. 

Born: 1754, Frederick Co., Maryland
Died: after 1815

Buried: unknown

Married: 1783 Montgomery Co., Maryland Samuel Hocker as his second wife. 

Records:
1781 - Jan. 12 - Montgomery Co., Maryland - Weaver Barnes will does not mention a daughter Nancy or a daughter married to Samuel Hocker.  He does mention his daughter Dorcas Hocker, grandson Weaver Hocker, son of Philip Hocker his implied son-in-law. 

1800 - Lincoln Co., KY - Samuel Hocker paying taxes in Lincoln Co., Kentucky
