Nellie Treanor Stokes

Nellie Treanor Stokes was an American writer best known for Rachel Jackson, a biography of Andrew Jackson’s wife. The book has been published in print and preserved in digital archives, which helps confirm her role as its author.

Available records also connect her with Tennessee, especially Nashville, and suggest a strong interest in regional and historical subjects. Because reliable biographical information about her is limited online, many personal details about her life and career are not easy to confirm with confidence.

That relative obscurity makes her work stand out even more: she appears to be one of those authors whose reputation rests on a single historical book that continued to circulate long after its original publication.
