Research notes for Nancy H. Attkisson
^BIRTH **EAR? has 23 Dec 1789; too close to birth date of Alexander! There is a Nancy A. Sweeney/Swinney who was born 23 Dec 1789, died 20 Dec 1883. Could this be Ann, daughter of William & Martha (Ellis) Oglesby? Has EAR confused the dates?

Also, unlikely she is 7 years older than her husband, further discounting the 1789 date. Others show a date of abt 1805.
