52 Ancestors-52 Weeks #15–Nancy Dial

 

Nancy Dial is my 2nd great grandmother. She was born in 1813 in South Carolina and died in 1910 in Richland County South Carolina. I have not found her parents at this time.

She married James Brazell, son of John Brazell and Martha Parnold. They were the parents of seven children:

- William “Willie” Brazell 1855-1905

- James Henry Brazell 1856-1956
