Marriages of Rowan County, North Carolina, 1753-1868 By Brent Holcomb
ROWAN MARRIAGES 1753-1868
McNight, Richard & Ann Luckey, 27 July 1802; Gilbert Nowell, bondsman;Jno. Brem, wit.
NOTE: Gilbert Nowell bondsman for Richard McNight and Ann Luckey
was married 2nd to Nancy Benson, sister of Levin Benson, the next year (1803).
Nancy Benson who marries Gilbert Nowell is 1st cousin of our Richard McNatt.
That is crucial and indicates that this Richard McNight is probably
our Richard McNatt who either marries Elizabeth next, or Ann Luckey is
actually Elizabeth Ann or Ann Elizabeth.We have seen women go by
their first name for a while and then go by their middle name often enough.
Luckey may also be a misspelling, since McNight seems to be also.
Richard's wife is just Elizabeth in all successive censuses.
Their apparent children start appearing by 1807 with our William S McNatt's birth in Bedford/Lincoln/McNairy Co, TN.
