    Notes 

    • She must be the mother of Abraham Fletcher Lanham. His death record shows he was born out of wedlock and his mother was Nancy Lanham. In 1870 and 1880, he is found living in the household of Reuben Harrison, but I don't find a connection between the two families. There was a Fletcher family in the general area, so perhaps his father was a Fletcher. Perhaps she just liked the name.
