That reference & John C. Nunnally as one of the Administrators of Hardin P. Lewis’s Estate Settlement let her to the Nunnally connection. Virginia shows a Deed of Gift From RACHEL NUNLEY to daughter Nancy I Lewis. [Note by Dianne: I have obtained a copy of the original deed & I believe it says Nancy J. Nunaly. The middle initial for Nancy seems to be the same as the first letter in the name James & John. Other references show her to be Nancy Jane Nunnally. I wonder if she could have been previously married to a Mr. Ingram before she married Hardin Perkins Lewis.] Book H Page 569 Madison County, Alabama July 7, 1823 Deed of Gift RACHEL NUNLEY } State of Alabama Madison county TO } Deed of Gift } Know all men by these presents that I RACHEL James B.
