Notes: Nancy Anderson was witness to will of Abraham Cantrill (step-father) in Pike Co., KY in 1858 signed as Nancy Clay. She is shown in the 1860 Pike Co., KY census as Nancy Clevinger, wife of James Clevinger. In 1870 they are living in Floyd Co, KY and in 1880 they are back in Pike Co, KY. During the Civil War Nancy's horse was taken by the Union soldiers. The story says she followed them for 3 days until she was able to talk to the commander and convince him of her need for that horse as the only means to feed her children. Marston: He disappears after the birth of his second son, Leonard. Family tradition states he went to water the horses and never came back. Since he is deceased he is not mentioned in the 1873 Deed, which names his father's heirs. His two sons Giles and Leonard Clay are named in his place. His children are listed as orphans in a court record in 1857 where their grandfather John Clay is attempting to have them bound out, because he claims Nancy is unable to provide for them. They are with their mother in the 1860, Pike Co., KY census. James: Pike Co. Ky Deed Book 0, Page 373. Deed dated 19 Feb 1885, James Clevinger and his wife Nancy Clevinger selling a tract of land situated on the Lick Fork of Beefhide Creek to Levi Greer.
