Person:Anna Reffitt (1)

Research Notes

Who were the parents of Anna (aka Nancy)?

THEORY A: Father Unknown and Elizabeth Hall. Source: Death cert of dau Anna (1946).

• Family tradition states that Anna (aka Nancy) was born out of wedlock to mother Elizabeth Hall (aged 18) before her marriage to James Reffitt. This may have been true and is supported by daughter Anna's death certificate (1946). The informant on that certificate is unknown at this time.
• This same tradition speculates that Anna's father was a Cooper. No proof of this has been found, although a Cooper family was living near the Hall family the 1840 Montgomery County census.

THEORY B: James Reffitt and Elizabeth Hall. Source: Death cert of son George (1946).

• Granddaughter Anna (Hodge) Noel was the informant on her father's death certificate in which she listed his mother (i.e. her grandmother) as "Anna Reffitt".
