Yes, Nancy appears to have died in childbirth.She had a daughter named Nancy at the year she died.Her son James (my great-uncle's dad) said he was raised by Nancy's mother who was German and later by a Mrs. Eddy who was hired for that purpose.
James began riding mail by horseback when he was 18.I have a picture of him and his story on the Wells Fargo pony express website.He eventually wound up in California.He and his wife died in Odessa, WA when on a visit to their son's home.She died of a lingering illness and he had a heart attack when he knew she wouldn't make it and died the day before!
