Likely parents of Mary Lucinda Nunn are Stephen and Louisa Nunn. The family is living a few doors away from Thomas and Nancy Draper and son Peter, Mary Lucinda's future husband. The 1850 Federal Census for Henry Co., Va. records Stephen (34) and Louisa (34) Nunn with children Mary L. (10), B. L. (7), Nancy (7), Martha (6), Susan (4), and Louisa (1). [That's right ... all girls!] Nearby is probable brother Riley Nunn (36) with his wife Jane (34) and children Hetty (5) and John (3).

The 1860 Federal Census for Henry Co., Va. page 83 records Stephen (45) and Louisa (45) Nunn with children Martha (15), Susan (12), Louisa (10), Joseph (8), Peggy (6), Wm (4) [William], and James (2).

Between the two families is Mary Nunn (71), probable mother of Stephen and Riley. All family members are from Virginia.
