Nancy Hollis was an illegitimate daughter of Bathsheba Hollis, born circa 1804 [according to 1850 Census] or 1810 [according to her death record].
Nancy Hollis had a daughter, Augusta Ann Hollis, with James Turner circa 1828. They lived together as a family in the 1830 Census at Parting Ways.
They were never married, and split sometime in the early 1830s. In 1837, Nancy Hollis had an illegitimate son named Stephen Hollis Drew with Stephen Decatur Drew. Stephen Decatur Drew married Lydia Rider in late 1837, and shortly thereafter Nancy Hollis and James Turner reunited.
In the early 1840s, Nancy Hollis and James Turner had children Henry Hollis and Rachel Hollis.
Nancy Hollis and James Turner again split up, and Nancy published marriage intentions in 1845 with Hammond Sekims. They never married.
By 1850, Nancy Hollis had reunited with James Turner, and they lived with Nancy's children at Parting Ways in the 1850 Census.
Nancy Hollis "burnt to death" in the home of her partner James Turner at Parting Ways on 17 May 1852. Her death was recorded by the First Church of Plymouth, and her burial place was recorded as Parting Ways.
No surviving gravestones remain at the Parting Ways Cemetery, other than fieldstones and several broken bases of gravestones, as well as a memorial stone which was placed at the Bicentennial for the Revolutionary War soldiers who lived at Parting Ways. Nancy Hollis, therefore, does not have a surviving headstone, although one of the fieldstones may mark her burial.
