Re: Two Nanny family bibles from Warwick, NY

Hello, John -- My grandmother was Nancy Ethel Nanny, daughter of Harry Johnson Nanny, who was the son of James Henry Nanny (son of Richard Johnson Nanny, son of Joseph Nanny, son of David Nanny and Patience Keeler, he was the son of William Nanny b ca 1720 d >1790). I have a lot of information about the Nannys and some about the Slys.

Name: William Jones Sly
Spouse: Elizabeth Fay Seely
Parents: James Clark Sly , Eliza Howell
Birth Place: Orange, Warwick, New York
Birth Date: 8 Mar 1828
Marriage Date: 18 Oct 1882
Death Date: 13 Mar 1908

Name: William Jones Sly
Spouse: Sary Jane NANNY (dau. of Reorge and Susan Nanny, George was the son of David Nanny and his second wife, Anna Whartonby)
Parents: James Clark Sly , Eliza Howell
Birth Place: Orange, Warwick, New York
Birth Date: 8 Mar 1828
Marriage Place: Amity, Orange, New York
Marriage Date: 13 Nov 1856
Death Date: 13 Mar 1908

1860: Warwick, Orange, New York
William J Sly 30
Sarah J Sly 27
Eliza E Carr 18
George Woodruff 28

1870 census Warwick Orange, New York p 73 Jul 1
Sly, William J. 42 Retired farmer NY

Roberta Sly 9

I really need to fill in some gaps. If you have William Nanny's wife's name and their birth, marriage, and death dates; David Nanny's wife, Patience Keeler's info; and any Keeler information that would be great.

I can send info about the Nannys if you're interested. They are originally from North Wales -- Nannau is the estate and their chosen surname for that place. Nannau means "watershed". They were at Nannau (near Dolgellau in Merioneth/Gwynedd) from about 1086 AD. They descend from the royal Welsh lines, so their pedigree and papers go way back at the Library of Wales and University of North Wales library.

So, I hope you receive this message and thanks for any help!

Lois is pictured in the 1924 Branding Iron, yearbook of Mason High School, as a senior. I'm not kin but thought this might help someone else.

Also look at related boards Nanney, Anway

rte_1 — 2008-10-18 15:36:53Z

There are more posts on the Nanney board, both here and on genforum. It's the same name.

Some NY Nannys changed their name to Anway so look for that name as well.

Re: Charles Edward Nanny

jamarie411 — 2008-10-18 03:59:16Z

With the name Charles Edward Nanny you would think they were related. All of my family was born and lived around Ft. Worth. My grandmother was born near Cleburn, TX. I don't find any evidence of the two families being related but I will keep looking. Thanks for the reply.

Re: Charles Edward Nanny

robnanny02 — 2008-10-17 20:59:50Z

Hello

I saw your posting on Ancestry.com. Oddly enough, my father's name was Charles Edward Nanny. He passes away in 1997 and was born in 1928. Born in Donie, Tx. Just wondering if we might be distant cousins. All of Dad's family is from the Freestone/Limestone County area, some relatives in the Waco area. He and Mom were never very good about keeping up with relatives. I have just recently developed an interest in building a real family tree.

Re: Andrew T. Nanny & Andrew J. Nanny

scooterbyrd — 2008-05-16 06:10:40Z

I am just starting out and looking for info on the Nanny family or Rio Vista. If Amos W Nanny was the father of William Herman Nanny, then Amos is my great great grandfather. Herman Nanny is the father of my maternal grandmother, Muriel Nanny Smith. I know Amos and Herman are buried in Rio Vista, where my Gran was born and raised. It wasn't exactly a thriving metropolis when I visited back in the '70s, so I imagine anybody named Nanny in that area is related somehow. I know that Herman had a brother named Charlie.

My burning question about Herman Nanny is that my mother says he was adopted by the Nannys and that his original family name is Berry. I appreciate it if anyone can shed any light on my ancestors.

Thanks,
Kat

Hugh Nanny/ 1680's/Virginia

2005-12-05 00:08:39Z

Does anyone have any new info on the Hugh Nanny who was supposedly "transported" into the James River area in 1689.....when he was actually already in Virginia in 1687 in ..
York Co. court records...?
He also shows up in Henrico Co., Virginia in 1701 ..as witness on a deed of George Archer...and also on a deed for Elizabeth Archer in 1701....haven't found him since the 1701...the Archer name was also in York co. in 1687..
But in 1739 my John Nanny was in court records in Prince George Co. (which was formed from Henrico co.) along with another George Archer......appreciate any input....especially if you have a later record of old Hugh Nanny....
