Nancy (7), youngest ch of James (6), b. Dec. 30, 1791, remained single and d. Nov. 5, 1822. At the age of 18 she became hopefully converted, and ever after proved her devotion to the cause she had espoused. She held frequent correspondence with her numerous friends, of which she made and preserved copies, and kept a diary from 1811 to near the close of her life, in which she recorded not only her own thoughts and feelings, but the scripture texts, heads of discourses, and sonethimes large portions of the sermons to which she was privileged to listen, which she wrote from memory, not taking any notes at the time of delivery. These are valuable mementoes of those early days, and those old-time pastors. She was active in all benevolent works of the time.
