A Nancy Downs is mentioned in the book "The Downs Family of Virginia, Ohio and
Indiana" by George Gilbert McCarthy. There is not much information on her, however.
She was the daughter of John Downs and Mary Hines who were married Nov. 13, 1828 at Ross
County, Ohio. They came to Tippecanoe County before 1850 and later moved to Carroll
County. Nancy Downs was born 1831 and was married to Wesley Brooks, Oct. 5, 1854. A note
for her says: "there is a possibility that she married for the second time to John
Turner." No other information is given for Nancy Downs.
Other children of John Downs and Mary Hines were:
Nelson, b. 1834, d. Mar. 20, 1900; married 1) Elizabeth Yount, and 2) Mizetta Rodgers.
William b. 1835
Jane b. 1837
James b. 1840
Eli b. 1841, m. Caroline ____
Sarah b. 1845
Albert b. July 1848, d. March 6, 1940 at Carroll County, Ind., married Sarah Jane
Bingham.
Sorry I couldn't be more help to you.
