Other than the marriage to Henry Reynolds, no other marriage record exists for Nancy Elmore in Craig Co. She often used the name Nannie Williams, and on the Social Security application of her son Charles he lists his father as Andrew James Elmore. She was enumerated as living next door to her uncle William Yorkie Elmore.5,1
