     William Nall married Ann Eleanor Yancey, daughter of Lewis Davis Yancey and Mildred Winifred Kavanaugh, circa 1765 at Culpeper Co., Virginia, USA,
;
Possibly her 1st of 2 husbands (brothers). Per Yancey [1994:48-9]: "It is thought that Martin Nail may have remarried Winifred's sister Ann Eleanor who had been widowed after marrying William Nail (Martin Nail's brother) - as one biography of Martin gives his wife's name as Ann...Usually just called Ann, this daughter of Lewis Davis Yancey married William Nail (son of Martin 8c Isabell Nail and the husband of Ann's sister Winifred)...It would seem that Ann Eleanor may have remarried her brother-in-law Martin Nail (after her sister Winifred had died about 1793) - but no records have been found to verify this."²
William Nall died circa 1796 at Scott Co., Kentucky, USA.³
      ;
Per Yancey [1994:48-9]: "Usually just called Ann, this daughter of Lewis Davis Yancey married William Nail (son of Martin & Isabell Nail and the husband of Ann's sister Winifred). Sometime before 1774, the couple seems to have moved with their family to Augusta County, Virginia where they settled near the town of Elkton. Later this area was taken to form Rockingham County. Here, William Nail, like his brother Martin, was quite actively involved in the military during the Revolutionary War. He also served as Sheriff. He seems to have moved back to Culpeper for a short time after the death of his parents. Then, about 1791 he seems to have taken his family to Woodford County, Kentucky where he was granted over 4,000 acres of land. His name appears in Scott County, Kentucky records as this county was formed from part of Woodford in 1792. He seems to have died about the year 1796 probably in Scott County - but no will has been found. It would seem that Ann Eleanor may have remarried her brother-in-law Martin Nail (after her sister Winifred had died about 1793) - but no records have been found to verify this. She may be the Ann Nail listed on the tax records of Scott County in 1807. Little is known concerning her death."

William Nall and Ann Eleanor Yancey lived before 1774 at Elkton, Augusta Co. (the), now Rockingham Co., Virginia, USA.³
