Biography
Nancy
N
.
Tracy
was
born
in
Henderson
,
New
York
on
May
14
,
1816
, to
Aaron
and
Betsey
Alexander
. Her
father
died
when
Nancy
was
four
years
old
leaving
her
mother
to
care
for a
farm
and
four
small
children
.
Financial
difficulties
led
to the
decision
that
Nancy
be
raised
in her
Grandfather's
home
in
Herkimer
County
,
100
miles
from her
mother
. She
lived
with
relatives
until
the
age
of
fifteen
when
she
decided
she
could
no
longer
bear
the
idea
of
separation
. from her
mother
. She
moved
back
to
Henderson
,
New
York
,
where
she
became
acquainted
with
Moses
Tracy
. On
July
15
,
1832
,
Nancy
and
Moses
were
married
. The
next
spring
Mormon
missionaries
entered
the
area
and
Nancy
attended
a
sermon
.
Feeling
the
truth
of the
speaker's
words
,
Nancy
decided
to
investigate
.
Despite
opposition
from
family
and
friends
,
Nancy
and her
husband
were
baptized
on
May
10
,
1834
. In the
spring
of
1835
,
Nancy
and
Moses
followed
church
leadership
advice
and
became
part
of the
gathering
of
Saints
to
Zion
,
which
was then
Kirtland
,
Ohio
.
When
the
Saints
were
driven
out
by
anti-Mormon
mobs
,
Nancy
and her
family
moved
to
Far
West
,
Missouri
. There,
Moses
became
involved
in
several
skirmishes
between
Mormons
and
mobocrats
. The
U.S
.
army
was
called
in and
although
there were
no
legal
reasons
for
attacking
the
Mormons
,
again
they were
driven
out
of the
county
.
Finally
,
Moses
and
Nancy
took
part
in the
exodus
of
Mormons
out
West
.
Along
the
trail
,
Nancy
buried
three
of her
six
children
who
died
of
disease
. On
September
15
,
1850
,
Nancy
and her
family
came
into
Salt
Lake
City
,
Utah
. They
soon
moved
to
settle
the
area
around
the
Ogden
river
. On
August
25
,
1858
,
Moses
Tracy
died
leaving
Nancy
to
raise
the
family
and
sustain
a
farm
herself
. In
April
of
1860
,
Nancy
married
her
husband's
brother
(no
name
mentioned
in
record)
.
Abstract
<p>
MSS
SC
918
:
Nancy
N
.
Tracy
'
s
autobiography
is
written
on
29
photocopied
transcribed
pages
. The
events
of
Nancy's
life
are
classic
of the
very
early
Mormon
pioneer
wife
.
Because
of her
connections
with
President
Joseph
Smith
(her
husband
Moses
lent
Joseph
money)
,
Nancy's
narrative
details
some
well
known
events
in
traditional
Mormon
history
. Her
story
is
emotionally
charged
with
devotion
and
belief
in
religious
sacrifice
.
Nancy's
writing
closely
resembles
the
syntax
and
style
of the
Bible
and
reflects
the
frontier
education
of the
time
.
