Cens-1830 1830 David was recorded in 1830 in Washington County with the following unnamed members of his household: 1 male (10-15), 2 males 15-20), 1 male (40-50) [probably David], 1 male (50-60); 1 female (under 5), 1 female (5-10), 3 females (10-15), 1 female (15-20) and 1 female (40-50). This record is consistent with the presence of David and Nancy with sons Armstrong, John and James as well as an unidentified 50-60 year old male. The younger females are consistent with the ages of daughters Elizabeth, Margaret, Ellen, Isabella and Mary, as well as an additional 10-15 year old female.8
Migration circa 1844 Nancy and David migrated to Andrew County, Missouri, circa 1844.9
Widowed Nov 1847 Nancy was widowed when David died in November 1847. His will left the Andrew County land to his two sons John and Armstrong with the stipulation they were to provide for Nancy.
Cens-1850 11 Oct 1850 The 1850 census enumeration for Platte township in Andrew County recorded Nancy as the head of a household that included her youngest daughter Elizabeth Strock along with Amos Strock and 2 Strock children. Nancy's sons Armstrong and John were the adjacent households.5
Cens-1860 27 Jul 1860 The Strock family moved to Kansas in the late 1850s and Nancy accompanied them. In 1860 she was enumerated as "Nancy Beatty, 74" residing in the household of Amos Strock in Quindaro township, Wyandotte County, Kansas.4
Burial Nancy may have been buried in Colburn Cemetery, Andrew County, Missouri.10
Research Comment: In addition to the children listed below, David and Nancy may have had a son named James. He is not mentioned in David's will, but is included in other researcher's reports on the family. James does appear in Andrew County about the same time David and Nancy appear and he was born in Virginia, as was his wife. His age is consistent with the family make up reported by David on the 1830 census. David also did not name a daughter Margaret (Beattie) Ryburn in his will, however she is included below based on her Washington County death record which lists her parents as David and Nancy Beattie. She also named her eldest son David Beattie Ryburn and her second daughter Nancy Clark Ryburn.
