  • Nancy had been married to John Doyle Lee but according to George Washington Bean (Nancy's brother), she divorced Lee at Winter Quarters so she and her little daughter Eliza (later named Cornelia) crossed the plains with James and Elizabeth Bean, Nancy's parents.  In March 1849 Nancy married Zachariah Bruyn Decker at Salt Lake City.  Both Nancy and Eliza appear under the surname Decker in Zachariah's Iron County household in the 1850 federal census.
