    Notes 
    • Bonnie Seiler shows her as the daughter of Arthur SPELL and Elsie FAIRCLOTH. She is linked to these parents on FindAGrave as well.

      At the time of the 1900 census, 75 year old Nancy Spell was living with the family. Assumed to be the mother of Nancy Elizabeth. Her date of birth was listed as Mar 1824, her marital status single, and her relationship, inexplicably, as "Nephew."

      In 1910, Nancy Elizabeth appears to be listed twice, as follows:

      In 1920, she is living with Oscar B., in the Little Coharie Township of Sampson County, and nearby Alvin and Dennis.

      In 1930, she is living with her son Dennis in Little Coharie Township, and is listed as Elizabeth, age 69.

    Married Abt 1877 
    • Robert McLemore Butler thinks it possible that the mother of Lofton's four youngest children was actually Emily ROYAL, and that "we suspect that after Lofton's death, or their divorce, (his first wife) Elizabeth BULLARD remarried and her new husband was named SPELL"

      The 1900 census indicates that Lofton and his current wife had been married 23 years, and that she was the mother of four children, all living.
