Notes |
- The information that I have on Nancy Adeline Everett comes fromcensusrecords, marraige records, and family lore.
She was born about 1824 in Tennessee and died after 1870 in Texas.Thefirst record of her is the marriage license granted in GreeneCo.,MO onthe 7th of June, 1846, to Sebert Smith and Nancy A. Everett.She is nextfound in the 1850, Searcy Co., Tomahawk Twp, AR, with herhusband Sebertand step-son, Emmanuel Jackson Smith, and her son, JohnS. Smith, age, 2.The next account of her is the 1860 Bosque Co.,Clifton, TX Census. Sheis there with her husband, Sebert andstep-son, Emmanuel, and herchildren, John S., Jesse N., William S.,Mary L., and Nancy C. There isa gap between 1860 and 1870 where shecannot be found. She reappears inHamilton Co.,TX living with herdaughter's in-laws. Her daughter, Jane,married William Banta, Jr.,son of William M. and Lucinda Banta, and bothJane and her husband andmother lived with the William Banta, Sr. family.Nancy's husband,Sebert, is not with them.
It would seem, from family lore, that Nancy Everett could be thedaughterof John S. and Susan Emaline Franks. She named her first son,John S.and the Smiths lived near many Everett families associated withthe JohnS. Everett clan, both in AR and in TX. My grandfather,Gilbert JacksonSmith did not know the names of his grandparents, buthe did know thathis grandmother had a sister named Cynthia Everett,she married aBlackwell, lived near Killeen, TX and was blind.According to the CoryellCounty History Book, pages 228 and 229, JohnS. Everett had a daughter,Cynthia Carolina Everett. This Cynthia didindeed marry John MiltonBlackwell. The account goes on to tell thatCynthia was blind and thatshe died in 1935.
From the book, HISTORY OF CORYELL COUNTY, it states that JohnSandersEverett had five brothers, Ewell, I.B. "Bart", Simmons, Hayne,and JesseN. The article states that only John and Jesse were known tohave come toTexas. We know that Hayne and a Thomas Ewell Everett cameto TX andsetteled in Bosque Co., TX (from the article written byMyrtle JacobPrince Mitchell, a descendant of Sim Everett).
