Due to her date of birth being about 10 years before the birth of Chunky Jerry. It is assumed that she is a child from a previous relationship that Nancy had before marrying Nick or he was about 10 when he fathered her. Has anyone done any research on Nancy Grigsby's ancestry? Unfortunately due to all the intermingling amongst the different family surnames in the area DNA will not tell us anything. Heck, I can't even get a direct male path to Archdale given to me on this site or on ancestry since they want to take the shortest route to the ancestor, instead of going from grandfather back, it takes my grandmother to her mother to her father and then back, lol.

Looking at the Timeline tabs for Nancy Alicia's "parents", the marriage date for her mother Nancy Euphemia Combs is before Nancy Alicia's birth, but, as you say, doesn't make much sense for the 'father' Nicholas Combs, of East Kentucky.

The DNA 'back-fill' should go through all the "proper" paths, even if not the shortest path shown by default. See this project for more on how to 'manipulate' Geni relationship paths: https://www.geni.com/projects/Working-with-Relationships/17570 (lots of references to other Projects & Discussions as well).
