Notes

The son of Robert Nanney Jr and Katherine Wheelright was a reputed seaman and pirate, Samuel's death is recorded in the Bermuda archives where he is recorded as having died in-testate. In reality, he was declared dead after a period of time passed without contact from him. His wife, Susanna Jenour, by the last name died in 1716. The surnames Nanah and Jenour are both listed among the residents of the Franco Dutch "Pirate Colony" located in the Bai d'Estaing, and St Marie colony near Madagascar between 1670 and 1699. Samuel's death inventory indicates that he died in or prior to 1969. This is the same year that several of the Pirates associated with the same Madagascar colony (sailed with or aided and abetted Thomas Tew, and Henry Avery in defrauding the legal owners of the venture ship "Amity" by offloading cargo in parts unknown prior to arrival in Bermuda). Other names in this database associated with the events mentioned in this note include Arthur Jones, Thomas Henry Every, Francois Maximilian Mission. There is some evidence to suggest that the story of this colony as recorded by Daniel Defoe (alias Captain Johnson) had basis in truth as he was himself relative to the Events, as his Grandfather Daniel DeFore was related to the family of Francois Mission both being in turn related to the family Delaforce (De La Fougere).

There is record a son, John Sr, living with relatives in Dolgelly, Merioneth, Wales who was baptized in 1710 in Merioneth. He lived there until he emigrated to the Virginia Colony.

Bermudian records state: "Copy of inventory, taken by Daniel Johnson (Defoe) and Leonard White, of goods left by Samuel Nanny deceased with Mrs. Susanna Jenour, widow. Latter appeared May 10,1690 before Gov. Robert Robinson. Witnesses: Tho[mas] Bur[ton], Zachariah Briggs RG 1001/1-A p. 333-334”".
