Life

Nancy Walden was born in Georgia in 1805, according to the FamilySearch tree, which names her parents as Charles Sparks Walden (1772–1833) and Sarah Walker (1783–1854).1 The year is uncertain: a compiled index of marriage records on Ancestry gives her birth as 1805 in Georgia, while an older user-supplied source on FamilySearch gives about 1809.2 The tree records her marriage to John C. Pitts in Perry County, Mississippi, in 1827, without an attached record of the marriage.3 The censuses of 1850 and 1860 list Nancy Pitts in the household of John Pitts in Perry County, Mississippi, in the Southern District in 1860.4 The tree names fourteen children, born between 1826 and 1853, among them James Edward (1826–1906), William Waldon (1828–1863), Henry P. (1844–1911) and Sarah E. (1853–1895).5 She died in August 1870 in Perry County, according to the Find a Grave index, an index to the volunteer-built memorial website.6 That index names her "Nancy Walters Pitts", giving her maiden name as Walters rather than Walden.6 Inference The tree's Walden parentage is unsourced, so the conflict is open; the name the tree gives her son William, "Waldon", fits a Walden mother, but that name is itself unsourced, and Walters may equally be a misreading or a different family.7 The tree also shows her, in a second family with no husband, as the mother of Eunice Walters (1904–1993), who was born long after Nancy's death and cannot be her daughter.8
