Second Generation

8. Nancy Agnes WISHARD^38,39 was born on 26 April 1781 in Fayette County, Pennsylvania.³¹ She died on 3 November 1876 at the age of 95 in Martinsville, Morgan County, Indiana.^13,40

Other sources cite 26 Apr 1781 as birthdate but only 5 months after birth of brother! Although most Wishard databases show Nancy as born in Pennsylvania, she stated she was born in Delaware in both the 1850 and 1860 censuses.

Her marriage date is also in dispute. Beals had Nov 4; Stiles had Nov 11. The Burton book has Nov. 11.
