Marriage*She married Ephraim Witcher, son of William Witcher Jr. and Mary "Mollie" Dalton, circa 1819, date estimated.1 
Census1840Nancy is probably the female age 30 to 39 listed in the household of her husband, Ephraim Witcher, in the 1840 Federal Census of Regiment 107, Pittsylvania Co., Virginia.2 
Census1850*Nancy and Ephraim appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of Dist. 68, Pettis Co., Missouri, enumerated 12 September 1850, as 50 yo farmer Ephraim & 50 yo Nancy Witcher. Their children William Patrick, Elizabeth Angelina, Peyton Oglesby, Harriett Jane, Sarah Emily and Nancy Frances were listed as living with them.3 
Census1860Nancy and Ephraim appeared on the 1860 Federal Census of Heaths Creek Twp., Pettis Co., Missouri, enumerated 14 August 1860, as 58 yo farmer Ephraim & 58 yo Nancy Witcher. Also in the household were 25 yo James & 20 yo Fanny Hodges, 2 yo Clay & 0.5 yo Frances Hodges and 12 yo Daniel B. Owens. I speculate that Fanny is Ephraim & Nancy's daughter Nancy Frances and this is her family. Only problem with that is it shows Fanny's birthplace as Missouri and prior info suggests Virginia.4

He's alledged to be buried in Blair Cemetery, Smyrna, but there's no headstone photo or info on how it was determined that he's buried there.

John Hawkins Houston1

M, #2933, b. 25 January 1833, d. 28 November 1906
Last Edited8 Mar 2023
Birth*John was born on 25 January 1833 in Tennessee, s/o James Harvey Houston & Isabell Hamilton.1 
Marriage*His first marriage was to Mary Ann Arnn, daughter of Abihu Aaron Arnn and Margaret Reynolds "Peggy" Blair, on 6 March 1856 at Pope Co., Arkansas. My preliminary research suggests their children were Marcellus Davis (1858-1908, m. Mary Jane Greer 1879 Conway Co), John Hawkins Sr (1859-1936, m. Cornelia Josephine Conley c1882, res. Conway Co 1900), Margaret Jane "Janie" (1863-1947, m. George Johnson Massingill 1881 Conway), and Charles Roach Houston (1870-, m. Sally Jones 1895 Conway). These four confirmed by the census record of their parents.
     Other possible children claimed by Ancestry's Abraham Aaron tree and/or FSTrees include Sarah Frances (1861-1867), George Samuel (1862-1867), Henry M (1866-1887, missing in 1870-89 censuses), Mary A (1868-1868), and Luther Houston (1872-1875).2,3,4

Marriage*His second marriage was to Josephine E. Guess on 1 May 1884 at Conway Co., Arkansas. My preliminary research suggests their children were John Efern H(1888-1936), Robert Brackenridge (1889-1955, called Bolivar in the 1900), and Lettie Katherine Houston (1892-1929). All three are in their parents's 1900 census enumeration.8
