Minerva Nugent was born around 1833 in Roark's Cove, Franklin County, Tennessee. Her father was John Nugent and mother was Elizabeth Neighbors. I have found no records that she ever married and she was in all the census records living with her father until his death. Minerva and her sisters were assulted as is shown in the 1852 court case. She is listed as an heir in the John Nugent estate in 1876. I have found no information since the 1880 census were she lived with her sister Musadora. She probably died in Franklin County but I have found no record of her death or marked grave.
