  1897 - Nancy Phillips passes away, May 29, 1897, Huttonsville, Randolph Co., WV, according to family trees on Ancestry.  However, no one gives a source for this information.  The death date is very specific unlike her husband who's records only have the year of death, 1899.  So somewhere, someone, had a bible or a cemetery record with this date.  OR somebody just made it up or copied someone else's information.

There are no grave marker photographs for them in Old Brick Church Cemetery, Huttonsville, Randolph Co., WV and I could find no transcribed cemetery burials from a gen web site.  Therefore, there is also the question of where this information came from.

In summary, both Nancy and John no longer appear in any historical documents after the 1880 Census, so one can assume they died before the 1900 Census.
   
Children of  Nancy Phillips and John Pritt
   
  Caroline Pritt - b. 1838, VA
 
Caroline Pritt
  1850 - 1860 - Census - Living at home with parents
  Everyone on Ancestry has merged poor Caroline into her younger sister Margaret.  In many cases, they have Margaret's name as Margaret Caroline Pritt, which is wrong. So many lemmings on this website.

LOOK closely at the 1850 and 1860 Census.  In 1850, Caroline and Margaret are two separate people.  In June 1860, Caroline is still living at home at age 22.  Sister Margaret, is married in April which is why she is not with her parents in the 1860 Census. Margaret is living with her husband David Kelley in 1860.
 
I searched for Caroline in marriages and deaths with no luck. She just drops off the face of the earth after the 1860 Census.

Agnes Ann Pritt
  About Agnes's birth year.  In both the 1860 and 1870 Census, Agnes is always shown as younger than her brother Franklin by 2 years.  Which means she was born in 1855 or 1856, not 1852
  1860 - 1870 - Census - Living with parents
 
1880 - Marries first cousin James S Phillips, May 4, 1880, Randolph Co., WV
