Bio
Nancy Caroline Petty was born in Rutherford County, NC on April 26, 1848. Her parents were William L. Petty (b: ABT 1803 in Rutherford Co NC) and Eliza Greenway (b: ABT 1811 in Rutherford Co NC). I noticed another researcher had Eliza's name as Elizabeth Ann. Nancy's middle name is Caroline, not Carolina (She was born in North Carolina). Per the 1880 Census for South Carolina, County of Spartanburg, Township of Campobello, James Franklin Blackwell's wife's name is listed as Caroline (Nancy's middle name, which she went by as her nick name). Nancy was the first wife of James Franklin Blackwell , whom she married about 1869. They had 10 children, with their names being: John Henry Blackwell , b. 6/29/1870, d. 3/05/1929 William Joseph (Joe) Blackwell , b. 10/02/1871, d. 8/09/1936 Nancy Lou Ella Blackwell (spouse Thomas A. Barnett ), b. 1875 d. 1943 Martha L. Blackwell (spouse Tom W. Barnes ), b. 9/04/1873, d. 10/18/1918 Eliza Jane Blackwell (spouse James Walter Hancock), b. abt. 1878 (age 2 in the 1880 Census) Margaret "Maggie" A. Blackwell (spouse George Wileman), b. 1/1881 (1900 Census) Birel A. Blackwell aka Burl (spouse Fred Stanifer), b. 3/15/1883, d. 5/24/1909 Della L. Blackwell (spouse Sam J. Green), b. 3/14/1886, d. 1/02/1917 Infant Blackwell , b. 6/14/1887, d. 6/21/1887 Carrie B. Blackwell (spouse Walter McDonald), b. 7/1888 (1900 Census) Sadly, Nancy passed away on Mar. 26, 1889, just a month short of her 41st birthday. James Franklin and Nancy worked in North and South Carolina during the first years of their marriage and moved to Texas in the 1880's. They bought a farm in the New Bazil community about 3 miles west of Wolfe City in Hunt County. After Nancy's death, James Franklin married Mary Caroline Hall (birth 5/18/1862, death 12/16/1945) about 1890 in Wolfe City, Texas. In the early 1900's James F. and Mary Caroline moved to Lexington, Oklahoma. James Franklin Blackwell is buried with his second wife Mary Caroline in Willow View Cemetery in Cleveland County, Oklahoma, USA. **Note: James Franklin Blackwell and Nancy Caroline Petty are my Great Great Grandparents, via my Great Grandfather John Henry Blackwell , Grandfather Leon Blackwell , and father Raymond Leon Blackwell .
