**Last record of John S. Sr.
I have unable to locate death records for both John Sr.
and Nancy. I know that Nancy died 1870 and 1880 between Cabell and Putnam counties.
John's second wife Delilah is found back in Cabell Co, in
1900 along with son David.
Any help with parentage of this couple is appreciated.
