Nancy's parents were Joseph Dunam and Esther Witherel Barrows. She had 5 siblings: Gardner, Pliny B. (some researchers say "Plina"), Esther Eliza (or Esther Ellen), Eliza & Sarah Ann.
She married Virgil Henry Capron on May 30, 1840 in Attleboro, MA. They had 9 children: Horatia Nelson, Mary Elizabeth (our ancestor), Melissa Nancy, Francena Adalaide, Virgil Henry, Jr., Virgil Henry 3rd, Rueben Edson and Selina Huntington. Nancy died of senility and old age. Virgil's name and b'date is on the gravestone, but there isn't a death date. After research with town records, they do not have any record of Virgil's death or where he was buried. It remains a mystery.
