Daughter of Ephraim Durgin and Sarah Warren. 2nd wife of Clement Drew. After two children were born in Maine, she and Clement moved near Eaton, NH. She died with the birth of their fourth child, a daughter who shares her grave.

Their children were Olive Jane who married Zaccheus McAllister; Warren who married Ann Pratt Stuart; Sarah Jane who married Joel McKeen; Clement who married Mary Clementine Thompson.

Nancy's birth is 12 April 1788, not 1782 as shown on the gravestone, which was erected many years after Nancy's death. The identity of "her orphaned Sophia" noted on the gravestone is still unknown.
