A quick note about how she and Henry Lightle met -

Nancy's family had moved from Missouri to Kansas during the War Between the States. After peace was declared, they were in the process of moving back. Nancy's father had died in Missouri a couple of years before. My grandmother, Ellen Britton, said that Henry, who had just gotten his discharge from the Union Army, came upon them while on horseback. He soon married Nancy and they all headed back to Missouri together. The two of them lived most of their married life in Stone County.
