    Notes:

    Some discrepancies exist between several sources for information regarding Nancy Eggleston; Peter Ramsey of Bassett Historical Center, says she is the d/o Nancy Watson who married Thomas2 Eggleston, and that she married Craven Wyatt.

    Her DOB is listed in the Eggleston Notes as 28 Sep 1789; if this fact is true, then she could not be the d/o Nancy Watson whose husband [Thomas Eggleston] died in 1755. The Eggleston Notes suggest Nancy Eggleston is the d/o Jane Thomasson and she married Craven Wyatt. The proven Date of Marriage is 6 Dec 1836, [(Source: Virginia G. and Lewis G. Pedigo, History of Patrick and Henry Counties,(Reginal Publishing Company, Baltimore, 1977).] Known Children of Nancy Eggleston and Craven Wyatt include George Eggleston b 20 Mar 1788; d 22 Aug 1857 [He married Nancy Bouldin, 22 Dec 1817.
