Ahnentafel #166 - (--?--) Nothen

(--?--) Nothen

Nothen comes from a biographical sketch of Patrick Williamson in the History of Jefferson County, Illinois.  Patrick is the grandson of this guy.
Patrick Williamson, farmer, PO Belle Rive, was born August 14, 1829, in Wayne County, Ill.  His father Henry Williamson was born in North Carolina, but died in this county, a true type of our old pioneers. The mother of our subject Nancy (Nothen) Williamson was the mother of nine children.
The main problem with the name Nothen is that I can't find it.  How mangled did the name get before being published in that county history?  Patrick's middle name was Nolan.  Was his mother's maiden name really Nolan?

Was the name Northeren or Northern?

Nancy [Nothen / Northeren / Notherly]

Born: 1790 NC

The surname Nothen comes from Patrick Williamson's biographical sketch in the Jefferson County history:
The mother of our subject was Nancy (Nothen) Williamson the mother of nine children. 
Census:
1790 - The 1790 North Carolina census shows no one with the surname Nothen.  There are two men with the surname Northeren living in Rowan County.  Of the two, Joseph Northeren is the most likely suspect to be Nancy's father.  There were 2 males under 16, 2 males over 16 and 3 females.
