• Notes

  There are two theories on her parentage. One is that she is the daughter of a John Rotton, but Billie Jones' theory is that she's the daughter of a William and Lydia Loveless Rotton which seems logical as one of their sons has Loveless asdle name. Billie Jones theorizes that the following 1880 census record might apply to this Nancy Rotton, if she was married to a Forster before she married Marmaduke and had a daughter Elizabeth with her first husband.1880 Census Place Daleville, Lauderdale, Mississippi p. 150B [Source FHL Film 1254653 National Archives Film T9-0653] Relation Sex Marr Race Age birth place OccCon FOSTER Self M M W 40 MS Occ Farmer Fa AL Mo ALElizabeth FOSTER Wife F M W 39 AL Occ Keeps House Fa AL Mo ALJoel Dj.
