Life

Nancy Ann Willingham was born on 1 May 1838 in Coosa County, Alabama, the youngest child of Alban W. Willingham and Bedia Herring, according to the FamilySearch tree, which cites no source for the date.1 On 30 June 1853 she married Asberry M. Kimbrough; the tree places the marriage at Rockford, Coosa County.2 The federal census of 1860 listed Nancy A. Kimbrough in her husband's household in Tallapoosa County, Alabama.3 The tree names five children of the marriage, born between 1854 and 1864: Cordera Eudora, Alban Eugene, Ophelia Beatrice, Corrilla Josephine and Asbury Morgan Jr.4 It also attaches to her a daughter Flossy Kimbrough, born in 1848 to an unknown father, ten years after the tree's date for Nancy's own birth.5 Inference Flossy is more likely a child of Asbury Kimbrough by an earlier marriage, or misplaced altogether, than a daughter of Nancy.5 Her husband was killed in the Battle of the Wilderness, Virginia, on 5 May 1864, according to the tree, which gives no source.6 In March 1869, as Nancy A. Kimbrough, she married John T. Edwards in Tallapoosa County; the indexes give 22 and 25 March.7 The tree gives John T. Edwards's birth as 4 December 1853, which would make him fifteen at the marriage and Nancy fifteen years his senior; no source is attached to his birth date.8 The census of 1880 listed Nancy A. Edwards in his household at Chana Hatchee, Elmore County, and the tree names three sons of the marriage, James Deara (1869), Robert Vehulan (1873) and Crawford Eulious (1876).9 She was named as N. A. Edwards in the marriage record of her son J. D. Edwards to Lula Harris on 1 December 1889, and in 1900 the census listed her in her husband's household in Precinct 15, Eclectic, Elmore County.10 She died in Elmore County on 30 October 1900 and is buried in the Pleasant Grove Cemetery at Eclectic, according to the tree and a Find a Grave memorial to Nancy A. Willingham Edwards.11 Her children's death records, made long afterwards, render her name in several ways: "Mary Kimbrough" in Corri J. Strickland's (1916), "Annie Williams" in Dora Kelley's (1930), Willingham in James D. Edwards Sr.'s (1938) and "Kimbrell" in Robert Vehulan Edwards's (1956).12 Inference The first two, from daughters of her first marriage, are probably errors by informants who did not know their mother's maiden name; the records' Kimbrough fathers and the daughters' names match her family.12
