Percival Nott married Jane Wallace, who would have been a cousin I believe of our Robert Wallace, father of ten and patriarch of a clan of New Castle Wallaces. Jane was in Ohio, and so was Percival, in a small town in Morgan County. They had eleven kids, ten of whom I missed in the first pass-around; I knew of only William.
Percival died in the Battle of Shiloh in 1862. He left Jane and the eleven kids behind.
His grandson Elmer moved down to Athens Ohio and worked in a coal mine. But the mine had an explosion, in 1922. Elmer lived but was never the same again. He died at the age of 58, leaving nine kids behind.
They are cousins, distant, not ancestors. But I'm enjoying learning about their lives.
