Nancy was the third daughter born to Needham and Ardella Smith. She was possibly the first born after they moved to Houston County from Washington County, Georgia. She welcomed five younger sisters to their home in Houston County.
On 18 November 1841, a month after she turned sixteen, she married John Seth Speight in Houston County. The marriage was reported in "The Southern Christian Advocate," the newspaper of the Methodist Church for the Florida, Georgia and South Carolina Conference.
In 1842 the Speight's had a son, William Thomas, who was called Wes. Nancy died on 24 April 1843. Young Wes became part of his grandparents' household where he had the company of aunts, uncles and cousins (1850 and 1860 US Census, Houston County, Georgia).
Nancy is buried in her family's cemetery. Her grave marker no longer exists. The rose or camellia were often found on the markers for Smith family members. The Find A Grave flower for Nancy is not fully open signifying that she died in young adulthood.
