Name-Marr-Possible Here's what puzzles us: Nancy's daughter Mary's name when she married John Beesley was "Mary M. Marshall", and Nancy's name when she was enumerated in her daughter's household in 1880 was "Nancy Turner". Nancy was a widow at that time. So... these are our questions: Was "Turner" Nancy's maiden name? Or did she marry someone with the surname of Turner after her "Marshall" husband died?. Until we learn the truth, we're just calling her Nancy Turner.1,2 
Birth*1806Nancy Turner was born in July about 1806 in Ohio.1 
(Mother) Census US 188015 June 1880Nancy was enumerated on the 1880 census taken on 15 June 1880 in the household of her daughter, Mary (Marshall) Beesley, in Virginia, Cass County, Illinois. She was 74 years of age and a widow.1

Great Flood of 1913*between 23 March 1913 and 26 March 1913 The Great Flood of 1913 occurred between 23 March 1913 and 26 March 1913, after major rivers in the central and eastern United States flooded from runoff and several days of heavy rain. Related deaths and damage in the United States were widespread and extensive. While the exact number is not certain, flood-related deaths in Ohio, Indiana, and eleven other states are estimated at approximately 650. The official death toll range for Ohio falls between 422 and 470. Flood-related death estimates in Indiana range from 100 to 200. More than a quarter million people were left homeless. The death toll from the flood of 1913 places it second to Pennsylvania's Johnstown Flood of 1889 as one of the deadliest floods in the United States. The flood remains Ohio's largest weather disaster. In the Midwestern United States, damage estimates exceeded a third of a billion in 1913 dollars. Damage from the Great Dayton Flood at Dayton, Ohio, exceeded $73 million. Indiana's damages were estimated at $25 million in 1913 dollars. Further south, along the Mississippi River, damages exceeded $200 million. Devastation from the flood of 1913 and later floods along the Mississippi River eventually changed the country's management of its waterways and increased federal support for comprehensive flood prevention and funding for flood control projects. The Ohio Conservancy Act, which was signed by the governor of Ohio in 1914, became a model for other states to follow. The act allowed for the establishment of conservancy districts with the authority to implement flood control projects.

John Reid and his wife, Nancy (Turner) Reid, with their three young children, were living in Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio, when, between Tuesday, March 23 and Thursday, March 25, heavy rains and rising waters from the Great Miami River burst levees on Dayton's south side and flooded 14 square miles of the city. Dayton's downtown streets experienced water 10 feet deep. On March 26, as floodwaters reached their crest, Dayton's business district suffered more damage after an early morning fire and gas explosion. An estimated 123 people were killed in Dayton. Downstream in nearby Hamilton, Ohio, about 100 people died after water 10 to 18 feet deep flowed into its residential neighborhoods.6,7 
Flood Victims*10 April 1913After her family’s harrowing experiences during The Great Flood of 1913 in Hamilton, Ohio, Nancy wrote to her father, David Y. Turner, in Adela, Clay County, Kentucky describing the ordeal. David shared her letters with a local newspaper, The Berea Citizen, Berea, Madison County, Kentucky, which, on 10 April 1913, under the heading, "Lost Everything in Hamilton Flood" published that The Citizen was in receipt of letters from Mr. David Turner of Adela, Clay County, written by his daughter, Mrs. Nancy Reid of Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio, stating that everything they possessed, with the exception of the clothes they had on, was washed away in the flood, and appealing to her father and brother for money to start to housekeeping again. The letters in part were as follows:

"Dear Father:
"A flood struck us Tuesday and lasted until Thursday evening. We were upstairs and the water was up to the last step and ready to come in on us. We had to go from our house to another through the windows, crossing on two bed rails. John had gone to work and did not get to us until Thursday when he waded in water up to his arms.
"We were in the house fifty-four hours without anything to eat and of course became very weak from the nervous strain and want of food.
"The flood came very unexpectedly, the largest reservoir breaking owing to a cloud-burst. We saved nothing but what we had on. We had just recently furnished our house.
"John was in another house which was struck by a floating house and knocked from its foundations. He caught to a telephone post and then swam to another house, and when it floated away swam to another and so on. He had no change of clothing from Tuesday until Thursday night, and part of the time his clothing was frozen on him.
"And we were not the only people to suffer this way. There were thousands of others, and just how many are dead cannot yet be told.
"The house I was in washed away about an hour after I was rescued. It is awful to think that we now have nothing for ourselves and little children. But, as I have said, there are many that are in the same condition.
"John saw a father pull three of his little children out of the water dead and lay them one by one on boxes. He has not found his wife and sister yet.
"We have spent all the money we had except $1.95, and I shall have to ask you to help us start life again. We will repay you as soon as we can.
"Your daughter, Nancy Reid, 30 West Fairview, Hamilton, Ohio."7
 
(Mother) Accident17 June 1919 On 17 June 1919, when her son, Otto Reid, of Burning Springs, Clay County, Kentucky, was only about nine years old, and a pupil at the Baptist Institute at Oneida, Kentucky, a small boat described as a skiff overturned with him and a number of companions in the Oneida River, Oneida, Clay County, Kentucky. Everyone except five-year-old Walter W. Roberts, son of Tom Roberts, could swim, and Otto saved him from drowning at the risk of his own life. By the time his heroism was recognized by the Carnegie Hero Commission, Otto was living with his mother in Hamilton, Ohio.8,9,10 
(Widow) Deathbefore 15 January 1920Nancy became a widow when John Reid died, probably at less than age 30, and before 15 January 1920, when the woman we believe to have been his widow was enumerated on the 1920 census as a roomer in the household of Mary Settlemire on North B Street, Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio.11,3 
Census US 1920*16 January 1920Nancy E. Turner was enumerated as a roomer on the 1920 census taken on 15 and 16 January 1920 in the household of Mary Settlemire on Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio. Nancy was 30 years of age, a widow, and worked for wages as a laborer in a paper mill.11 
Award*April 1922 The Carnegie Hero Commission awarded 23 medals for valor in April 1922 and Nancy's son, Otto Reid, of Burning Springs, Clay County, Kentucky, received the Carnegie Bronze Award for, while a young school boy himself, saving the life of Walter W. Roberts, age 8, from drowning at Oneida, Kentucky on June 17, 1919.10,9 
Marriage*27 September 1922She married second Frank H. Bradley, son of Charles Bradley and Mollie Lunsford, on 27 September 1922 in Butler County, Ohio.3 
Divorce*9 November 1922Nancy E. (Turner) Reid Bradley filed for divorce against Frank Bradley on Thursday, 9 November 1922, in the Court of Common Pleas, Butler County, Ohio. Her complaint stated that, after representing himself as a man who never drank and who would take care of her two children from a former marriage, the second day of their married life, he came home beastly drunk. She said she kept him in the house until he sobered up, but he left at two o'clock in the afternoon and did not return until the following morning at two, and that he returned in an automobile in which were other men and women. He demanded $20, saying he had been arrested for selling liquor, and that when she refused to give it to him, he left and did not return. She asked for restoration of her former married name, Reid.12 
AwardNovember 1924When her son, Otto, entered as a Junior into Hamilton High School, Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio, in November 1924 from Berea Academy in Clay County, Kentucky, he was asked to tell about receiving his bronze medal from the Carnegie Institute for saving a boy from drowning in the Kentucky River at Oneida, Kentucky. He explained that on June 17, 1919, while swimming in the river, which was higher than usual, his attention was attracted to a small boy, nine years old, who was frantically struggling in the water. Otto, who was then eleven years old, managed to drag the boy to land, and said that, "Even though I do not know how, I finally brought him to the river's bank by overcoming him". Otto, at the time, was attending the Oneida Baptist Institute at Oneida, Kentucky. The Carnegie Institute awarded him a bronze medal in 1921 and has appropriated sixteen hundred dollars towards his college education. And later, if he needs more money for his education, they will supply enough for his expenses.13 
Marriage*She married third Paul A. Huth.14 
AwardApril 1926 In April 1926, Nancy and her son, Otto, had a chance of being named America's "Ideal Youth". A newspaper dispatch from Philadelphia had arrived at the newspaper in Hamilton confirming that Young Reid was one of the 29 Carnegie medal holders who were to be candidates for the honor. One boy and one girl would be selected from the group in a competition, and the winners would receive the American Youth Award prize.15 
Divorce*10 June 1927Nancy E. Huth filed for divorce from Paul A. Huth on 10 June 1927 in the Butler County, Ohio. Beginning on 10 June 1927, a "Legal Notice for Divorce" was published, as required by law, by newspapers over a six week period. The notice stated, in part, that "Paul A. Huth whose last known place of residence was 2136 North Rural Street, Indianapolis, Indiana, will take notice that on the 10th day of June A. D., 1927, Nancy E. Huth filed her petition in the Common Pleas Court of Butler County, Ohio, praying for divorce on the grounds of gross neglect of duty and extreme cruelty. Said defendant is required to answer or otherwise plead on or before the 30th day of July A.D., 1927, or said petition will be taken as true and the prayer thereof granted.14 
Census US 1930*7 April 1930Nancy E. Huth was enumerated as the head of her household on the 1930 census taken on 7 April 1930 at 111 South Third Street, Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio. Nancy was 38 years of age, a widow, and operated a lodging house in her home which she rented for $65 per month. She owned a radio. Her daughter, Louise (Reid) Wilson, and her grandson, Lowell Wilsonl, were enumerated with her in 1930. Louise was 20 years old, recorded as widowed although her husband was not deceased, and worked for wages as a waitress in a restaurant. Her son, Lowell, was eight months old. Six lodgers were also there in 1930, and one of them, Edward Kuth, whose surname was recorded as "Keith" by the census taker, would become Nancy's fourth husband three days after the date of the census. Everyone in Nancy's household in 1930 was able to read, write and to speak English.16 
Marriage*10 April 1930She married fourth Edward L. Kuth, son of William Kuth and Louisa Fahslander, on the same day, or shortly after, their marriage license was issued on 10 April 1930 in Covington, Kenton County, Kentucky. Edward was 40 years of age and a laborer, and Nancy was 39 years of age. They were both residents of Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio.17,5,18

Marriage*She married, as his second wife, Samuel Heaton, son of Samuel Heaton and Sarah Hawes.1 
Children* It is not clear if Samuel had any children with his first wife, and all of Samuel's ten children appear to have considered Abigail their mother. We believe that Gideon was Samuel's first child and are thoroughly confused and uncertain about the birth order of the others. For the purpose of this project, we have assigned all of the ten children to Abigail -- until we learn otherwise.4

  4. [S225] Wikipedia Free Encyclopedia, online at www.wikipedia.org, The Rogerenes (also known as the Rogerens Quakers or Rogerines) was a religious sect founded in 1674 by John Rogers (1648–1721) in New London, Connecticut. Rogers was imprisoned and spent some years there. He was influenced by the Seventh Day Baptists and the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) and opposed the Established Puritan church. Rogerenes initially held to a Seventh Day (Saturday) Sabbath, but over the years began to regard each day as equally holy. Their disdain for Sunday worship often brought them into sharp conflict with their neighbors. Increasingly they adopted a Pacifist stance, including war tax resistance, which further brought them the ridicule of the larger community. Some of the Rogerenes left Connecticut and migrated to New Jersey settling in parts of present-day Morris County. One such group settled in what is now the Landing section of Roxbury Township, New Jersey near Lake Rogerine, then known as Mountain Pond in about 1700. Another smaller group of Rogerenes in about 1734 settled on the eastern side of Schooley's Mountain near present-day Hackettstown, New Jersey. Rogerene worship services continued through the early 20th century in Connecticut. Hereinafter cited as Wikipedia Encyclopedia.

Also enumerated in the Higgins household in 1860 were Joseph P. Tyler and John Duncan. Joseph P. Tyler may have been Amelia's father.
