My relative Enoch Tinsley was married to Nancy Dunaway–probably in or near Fleming County, Kentucky and before 1820 when the young couple is in the census. Nancy probably wasn’t in Fleming County by herself, before she got married. However I can’t assume that there will be Dunaways living near Enoch in the 1820 census. There are many reasons, including these:
- her parents lived in Fleming County between about 1811 and 1819–long enough for her to meet and marry Enoch, but not long enough live there when the census was taken.
- her father had died and her mother remarried and is living right next door with a last name that I’m totally unaware of.
- Nancy lived in Fleming County with either a married sister of her father or a relative of her mother’s. If that is the case at this point I really don’t know what those names are.
