When asked why she went by the name of Jones, Nancy replied that Jones was her husband’s last name before he went into the army. When Owen enlisted, he took the name of "Mackie."
Nancy remarried to James Booker on April 7, 1869.
Nancy possibly also had the surname of Cowley. The enslaver of the soldier was John Mackee. Deposition from Elizabeth Tucker and Martha Allen on pages 37-38.
