1804 Birth:2418,1242,2406 Birth year of 1804 estimated based on age (46 years) in 1850 census enumeration; birth place of Ohio in the same source is presumed to be incorrect. Abraham Morey and Abigail Stratton established as parents of Naomi Morey by Abraham's 1834 estate petition. The Morey family was enumerated in Rutland Township, Rutland County, Vermont in 1800.

1810 U.S. Census: Parents Abraham Morey and Abigail Stratton not definitively located. Possible locations include Rutland and Addison counties in Vermont as well as Genesee and Clinton counties in New York.

1820 U.S. Census:642 Naomi enumerated in the household of her father Abraham Morey in Jefferson Township, Ashtabula County, Ohio as one of two females age 10 to 16; Naomi was about age 16.

1823 Marriage:1514 Recorded as marriage of Elias Tracy and Naomi Morey, 6 November 1823, Licking County, by John Peters, the J.P. for Bennington Township, Licking County. The 1834 petition1242 to sell the lands of Abraham Morey at his death clearly listed "Arthur Briggs and Polly his wife, late Polly Morey; Elias Tracy and Nancy his wife, late Nancy Morey." The transcribed marriage records of Licking County, re-constructed in 1878 following two fires in the courthouse in Newark, Ohio, list the marriage of Elias Tracy and Polly Morey365 on 13 September 1818. The ceremony was performed by Alexander Holden, who dated the marriage return 19 October 1818. Elias Tracy is also, apparently correctly, listed as marrying Naomi Morey on 6 November 1823. Since the 1834 petition to settle the estate1242 of Abraham Morey clearly identifies "Arthur Briggs and Polly his wife, late Polly Morey" and "Elias Tracy and Nancy his wife, late Nancy Morey," it is assumed that this transcribed marriage record, reconstructed about 60 years after the fact, confused the husband of the two Morey daughters and that the 13 September 1818 marriage was actually Arthur Briggs and Polly Morey. In the 1850 census enumeration, Arthur Briggs2416 and wife Mary were residing in adjacent Knox County while Elias Tracy2418 and wife Naomi were living in Allen County.

1830 U.S. Census:2419 Nancy enumerated in the household of her husband Elias Tracy in Wayne Township, Knox County, Ohio as a female age 20 to 30; Nancy was about age 26. Four daughters also resided in the household.

1834 Father's Estate Petition:1242 During the October 1834 term of the Licking County Common Pleas Court, a petition to the court in connection with settling the estate of Abraham Morey, who died intestate, lists his "widow named Abigail Morey who is entitled to dower in said land and the following children heirs at law: namely, Asa Morey; William Wheeler and Laura his wife, late Laura Morey; Arthur Briggs and Polly his wife, late Polly Morey; Elias Tracy and Nancy his wife, late Nancy Morey; Josiah Scott and Samantha his wife, late Samantha Morey; Stillman Morey; and Franklin Morey, the two last of whom are minors under the age of twenty one years, all of whom reside in said County."
