Nancy Coleman
I'm looking for information about my 3rd great grandmother Nancy Ann Coleman born in Tennessee on April 25, 1829. She married my 3rd great grandfather Levi Bauze Aday Jones in Yell County, Arkansas on August 20, 1846. Levi was born in Madison County, Alabama on November 24, 1822 to John William Jones and Elizabeth Eddy.
Nancy and Levi were the parents of 8 children: Mary Elizabeth Jones, Wiliam H.(possibly Holman) Jones, Levi Benton Jones, Thomas Franklin Jones, Margaret Ann Jones, John William Jones, Percival S (possibly Smith) Jones, and Walter R. Jones.
Nancy died on October 16, 1896 and Levi died on December 25, 1860 - both in Scott County, Arkansas and both buried in Parks Cemetery.
My grandmother, father, great aunt and two cousins have told me many times that Levi Benton Jones (son of Levi Jones Sr and Nancy Coleman) was 1/2 Cherokee. I do not know for certain if his full blood Cherokee parent was Nancy or Levi Sr. I suspect it was Nancy.
Looking for any information. Thanks,
