I don't: Sarah Elvira did not name Nancy Ann as one of her father's sisters in a questionnaire she filled out for one of her grandchildren in 1922. She only names Elizabeth Knight (Fox), Polly Oglesby, Susie Timmons and Sallie Oglesby. Records for Constant Oglesby Jr. just state he married a daughter of John Knight of Christian County.
