I have information on a Nancy Vorhies:

Nancy Jane Vorhies b. 3 Jul 1846 - d. 5 Jun 1916; bur Mt. Zion cem.; d/o
Aaron & Margaret (Gordon) Vorhies children; b. in OH
m. 13 Nov 1865 in Noble Co., Ohio
JOHN S. MATHENY: s/o Ephraim & Elizabeth (Hendry) Matheny; b. 27 Jun 1840
Mt. Ephraim, Noble Co, Oh; d. 7 Oct 1920 in Guernsey Co.; bur. in Mt. Zion
cem.

He was a farmer and they lived in Buffalo Township, Noble County, Ohio.

I have nothing on her ancestors, but do have some information about their
descendants. If any interest, contact me.
