I have used "Nannie," which is often a nickname for either Ann or Nancy, as the first name for this memorial because I found NO sources that have anything else. The family tree in FamilySearch has "Ann," but with no sources, and I know from my own direct experience that FamilySearch often gives people formal names that they didn't really have--some families use shorter or more informal names on purpose. "Nannie" is the name listed on all censuses, on her son's marriage record, and on her death certificate.
Nannie married George Barrett, a farmer, in about 1903, and they had two sons--John W. and William W.--in about 1906 and 1908.(John and William's birth dates fluctuate from document to document.) They were together as a family on the 1910 census, I could not find them in 1920, and 1930 shows Nannie as divorced, although that was sometimes used as a designation for a woman who was separated or divorced. In 1930, Nannie was living with her widowed father. I could not find any more firm information for George Barrett. Quite a few people with the same name do not seem to fit.
