Another source gives her year of death as 1862.

Nancy married Dr. John Medearis Yancey ^{1, 2, 3} son of David Yancey and Rachel Davis Medearis on 7 Jun 1857 in Barbour Co., Alabama. John was born on 21 Feb 1833 in Barbour Co., Alabama. He died on 16 Dec 1909 in Pope Co., Arkansas.

We have the following biographical sketch of Dr. John Medearis Yancey from "The Encyclopedia of the New West, Arkansas Section, 1881.

J. M. Yancey, electic physician, was born in Marshall County, Tennessee, February 21, 1832, and there grew up and lived to the age of 27, attending, when quite young, the schools in the neighborhood of Old Liberty Church, receiving, in all, about two years schooling. He has added to his scholastic attainments a good stock of general information by an extensive course of miscellaneous reading, but to medical books he has devoted most attention.

Raised upon a farm and living in a quiet community, his boyhood was not stained by the vices common to youth. He never saw a fight until he was eighteen, has never tasted whiskey as a beverage, nor played cards, used tobacco nor departed widely from the high standard of morality under which his exemplary and careful father trained him. Moderate farm work, hunting and rambling among the hills about his father's home in his boyhood laid the foundation for the hardy constitution and uniform good health which has enabled him to endure the fatigue and exposure of professional life.

Dr. Yancey was raised in, and by birth, education, culture and choice, belongs to the great middle class of society, among whom in all ages are to be found more honor, virtue, intelligence, morality, manhood and solid happiness than in either the upper or lower ranks.

He is a little over medium height, has dark hair, hazel eyes and an expression of affability, thoughtfulness and prudence. The manly qualities and virtues are so blended in his mental and moral make-up that it is difficult to point out his distinguishing characteristics. Descended from parents devoted to agriculture and domestic pursuits in the midst of a very moral and religious community, whose aim was to live honestly in the habits of industry and to make the most of life, its enjoyments and opportunities to do good, Dr. Yancey must be classed as a gentleman of the old school, thrifty, painstaking, hospitable endeavoring to do all the good he can. While not unsocial in his habits and manners, he appears to best advantage in society congenial with his own tastes.

Dr. Yancey's father paid for his medical education, but the son started in life without other inheritance, and his career has been modeled on the principle of meeting every engagement. In his practice he has been guided by a fixed purpose to show no partiality, and make no distinction between calls, whether from the rich or the poor, departing from this rule only in the cases of such as have dishonestly refused to pay him for his services when known to be able to do so.

In the Spring of 1853 he began to read-medicine in the office of Dr. T. W. Brents, a physician of the Botanic School, at New Hope, Marshall County, Tennessee, and road with him two years, after which he attended the Southern Botanic (Afterwards called the reform) Medical College, at Macon, Georgia, from which, after two terms he graduates M.D., February 1858. After graduation he practiced at his father's old home three years. After that time, on account of his wife's illness, he abandoned the practice, removed to near Dover, Arkansas, and farmed there two years up to the commencement of the war, when he was conscripted into the Confederate Service while every brother and brother-in-law were volunteers. He served in the medical department on detail as ward master during the remainder of the War in the Trans-Mississippi department. In his medical capacity he assisted at the battle of Helena and Salina. At the latter place he was put in charge of the litter corps and to his credit it ought to be recorded that when the battle was over there was not a wounded man of his regiment left on the field. At Camp Mazard he had charge of the sick of two brigades and one division - - a large experience utilized in all the after years of his medical practice. He served under General Fagan and Hawthorne. Immediately after the War he returned to the practice of Medicine, and has been engaged in it ever since, first at Dover from 1865 to the Spring of 1870, when he moved his present residence to a farm near Russellville, and continued his profession.

Dr. Yancey.married first in Marshall County, Tennessee, at the age of twenty-five, Miss Nancy M. Woodward then twenty-two years old, born the daughter of George Woodward, of a family originally of Virginia. Her mother was Margaret Porter. By this marriage he had three children: Rachel Alice, Margaret Louisa and Nancy. M. The first and last of these died, in infancy. Margaret Louisa married in July 1880, Joseph Bradley, a farmer, now living at Palmer, Ellis County, Texas. Mrs Yancey died near Dover during the war.

Dr. Yancey's second marriage, which took place at Dover in 1867, was with Mrs. M. A..Hayes, who was born in Pennsylvania. Her maiden name was Lydic. She was educated at Pleasant Hill Seminary, near Bethany, Virginia. By this marriage Dr. Yancey had four children: Emma Estella, Charley Scott, David Edwin, and John Medearis, only one of whom, Emma Estella, is living -v- bright jewels passed away. Dr. Yancey joined the Christian Church at Old Liberty,Tennessee, at the age of twelve, and has been identified with it ever since. Mrs. Yancey is a member of the same communion.

He owns three hundred acres of land, a good farm, has quite a taste for improving his stock. His professional fees amount to an average of two hundred dollars a month. In a word, he is in quite comfortable circumstances.

His father, David Yancey, was born in North Carolina, but his father moving to Oglethorpe County, Georgia, when he was a mere boy, he grew up there. He was educated at the Athens (Georgia) Academy. After leaving school he traveled into Tennessee, took a school in Marshall County and married Rachel Medearis, daughter of George W. Medearis and grand-daughter of Captain John Medearis, a commissioned officer and quartermaster in the Revolutionary War. Her mother was a Woodward, of Virginia, where she was married. David Yancey was a farmer, a teacher, a man of good learning and extensive reading, a zealous member of the Christian Church - - a man noted for his integrity and the even tenor of his life and character. He is now living, in his seventy-sixth year in Morris County, Texas.

Dr. Yancey's mother, also still living, in her young days was a lady of great personal beauty and always noted for her domestic virtues, as indeed was all her sisters. The whole family on both sides, as far as known, have always lived in the quiet walks of life, and without a stain upon the character of either man or woman of the connection - - a general analysis record of which the proudest in the land, if honest in his heart, should be proud. These are the balance wheels, the checks and balances which leaven the moral world; or at least that portion of it embraced in these United States.

A friend says of Dr. Yancey: As a physician Dr. Yancey ranks very fair. He is as firm as a rock, can control his emotions, was never heard to use an idle word, nor seen to be angry, nor heard to speak a harmful word of any body. He is strictly honest and conscientious, a profound student, and remarkable for the uniformity of his disposition. He is a model man - - his whole object seems to be to do good - - a worker in Sunday school and a strong advocate of moral training.
