Nancy Agnes Knox was born about 1765 to James Knox and Lady Elizabeth Craig. She was the eleventh out of twelve children. In 1752 James Knox and his family traveled by ship from Scotland down the River Clyde into the Irish Sea and over to Belfast in Northern Ireland. They sailed from Belfast Harbor in March 1767. They landed at Charleston, South Carolina on May 27, 1767.

At some point after their arrival, they moved to present day Chester Co, South Carolina and settled on land close to Fishing Creek in the northeast corner of Chester County.
Nancy and Jacob Sutton married about 1754 and they remained in South Carolina until about 1788 when they moved to Kentucky.

They settled at Crab Orchard, Madison Co, KY until 1812, when another wagon train headed for Bedford Co, TN. From there, they moved to Alabama. We know that they were in Walker County, Alabama earlier, but Nancy applied for Jacob's Revolutionary War pension in 1836.
