Person:Nancy Kendrick (4)

Janie Kimble: It is presented as 'reasonable conjecture' that the Stephen Jackson who legally adopted Nancy Kendrick/Hendrick's children was the same Stephen Jackson, who was married to Nancy Cook.

Rosemary Crawford Miller points out that there is no specific document to confirm this!  It is a conclusion reached by an accumulation of the many citations below and study of the circumstances in the area at the time.  Please see the Notes in Stephen Jackson's record and also read the Conflicting Data Page for analysis and understanding of this conclusion: <http://www.jacksonfamilygenealogy.com/pages/conflictingdataStephensinCarolina.htm>.

From Research of Bob Mitchell:
Bob Baird and Will Hendrick have worked together to examine the various references to Nancy/Ann and have concluded that earlier thought that her name was Hendrick is incorrect. Bob Baird says "There is a lot of confusion between Hendrick and Kendrick, as the capital letters look so similar. . . I think the evidence very strongly favors her being a 'Kendrick" and not a "Hendrick". A while back we counted references to her and there was something like 20-odd citations as "Kendrick" and only 2 or 3 as "Hendrick". Other than the fact that she lived in the same area, there's nothing at all that connects her to any of the Hendricks. I would think that the clerks in Anson and Chesterfield would have been familiar enough with the Hendricks living there that it was not accidental that they spelled her name as "Kendrick" and everyone else as "Hendrick". Will Hendrick says "_____ has pointed out many times that none of the known Hendrick men ever witnessed any of the multiple transactions involving Ann. That seems in stark contrast with the degree to which their names show up on each other's Hendrick documents. {Also,] finally, the fact that the legislation changing the spelling of children's names from "Kendrick" to Jackson is telling."

Nancy and Ann are used interchangeably as a name for Nancy Kendrick. Her name was probably Nancy and Ann her nickname. Her name is also seen in transcribed records as Hendrick or Kindrick. These citations below are for the purpose of showing Nancy and Stephen's relationship and not for proving her surname one way or the other. The citations are from transcriptions and I have no way of knowing if the original spelling looked like Kendrick or Hendrick.
