Daughter of Thomas Clement and Elizabeth Foote
Married George Albert Smith, 29 Nov 1844, Nauvoo, Hancock, Illinois
(Third wife of George A. Smith, who was the son of John Smith, brother of Joseph Smith Sr.)
Nancy Clement was the daughter of Thomas Clements and Betsy Foote. She was born October 31, 1815 in Dryden, Tomkins, New York. She was a niece of Warren Foote, born 1817. After Nancy accepted the gospel, she came to Nauvoo to be with the saints.
Church leaders were teaching the doctrine of plurality of wives. Nancy accepted this teaching and at the age of thirty, became George Albert Smith's third wife on February 1st, 1845 in Nauvoo, Illinois. She later had her endowments and was sealed to him in March, 1846, while the Nauvoo Temple was open for that work.
George Albert Smith was the son of Clarissa Lyman and John Smith, brother of Joseph Smith Sr., father of the Prophet. His grand-son was the eighth president of the Church, George Albert Smith, Jr., the son of John Henry Smith and Sarah Farr, daughter of Lorin Farr and Nancy Bailey Chase.
When George Albert Smith fled Nauvoo with his wives Bathsheba, Lucy and sixteen year-old Hannah, he left in their fourteen room house (unsold) his wife Sarah Ann, (Hannah's sister) to take care of his wives, Nancy and Zilpha, who were to have babies. Zilpha's baby was born March 18, 1846 and was named Zilpha Adelaide. Nancy's baby was born on March 20th, 1846 and was named Nancy Adelia.
At this time there was a hurried visit from their husband George Albert Smith. He was thrilled and happy with his offspring and encouraged them, that God was mindful of them, and would help them through this perilous time.
In about three weeks, Sarah Ann, through the merciful assistance of some of the Saints who were left in the fiendish fury of a satanic mob, was able to start on the bitter cold snowy, slushy journey to join her husband and the rest of the family.
When Zilpha’s baby sickened and died on the way, Nancy hugged her baby closer, yet tramped many dreary, muddy miles to lighten the wagonload. When at last they joined the family at Mt. Pisgah, they wept and rejoiced together.
The terrible winter at Winter Quarters followed. Nancy became a victim of scurvy. Their food was corn bread, which was sometimes mixed with milk. Her struggle for survival ended March 26th, 1847 at Winter Quarters; then the fainter, and fainter wailing of Nancy's beautiful one-year-old baby ceased on April 17th, 1847. She was laid to rest beside her mother in the Winter Quarters burial ground.
