The assumption that Nancy Rebecca was born in 1831 and was still living with her widowed mother in 1850 is a mis-reading of the 1850 Census of DIstrict 2, Graves County, Kentucky (taken on 25 Jul 1850), dwelling 8, family 8, where we find John's widow Nancy, 53, son Lucian, 26, son Lafahgette, 24, [daughter-in-law] Rebeccah, 19, and grandson Henry C, 2. The Rbeccah here is Llucian's wife Ann Rebecca Lochridge, born 31 Jan 1831, and both here with their son Henry Clay, 2. .Nancy Rebecca either died by 1850 or had married someone we do not know.
