He moved from Missouri to Arkansas at some point and very little to no information is known of his family he left behind in Missouri. I have some info on his life through family and records of his life since he was in Arkansas and in my immediate family. I know he was married in Arkansas before he married my Great Grandmother, but nothing else is known regarding that either. Any assistance in my search is greatly appreciated. Here are a few things I do know: According to his headstone, he was born in 1852 and died in 1937. He was buried in Emerson Cemetery in Columbia County, Arkansas with his 2nd wife Nancy Jane Wallace B. 1878 - D. 1944. He married Nancy Jane Wallace in Columbia County, Arkansas 13 July 1892. Together with Nancy, he had three children: William "Floyd" Nelson, Georgia Nelson, and Ola L. Nelson Burns (my Great Grandmother). I have him on 1910, 1920, and 1930 Census records showing his residence to be in Columbia County, Arkansas. Almost all of the information I have found indicate that he was born in Indiana, and some have shown alternate birth dates - 1853 and 1855. The Census records also show both of his parents to be from Tennessee. I did get a death certificate for Harrison Nelson and it showed his father to be named Geo. or at least the person who provided the information for the certificate believed it to be. It did show that Geo/George was probably born in IN, although all the census information I have for him state that both of his parents are from Tennessee. I have found one promising census and marriage dates for a G H Nelson living in Arkansas with a son named Cicero and had the correct birth dates, but the GH Nelson was born in GA. As far as the marriage license, it showed that particular GH Nelson and wife to be married in Tennessee. I haven't been able to track any further than that. I did also receive some names from a Bible that belonged to Harrison. The names were William A. Nelson B. 6 Dec 1850, Burnecy H. Nelson B. 6 Jan 1854 â possibly Burnecy K, George M. Nelson B. 21 Aug 1858, Mary Ann B. Jan 24 1856, Andrew W. Nelson B. 5 Oct 1868, Joshua Nelson B. 29 Nov 1810 or 1820 (hard to read), Enoch G. Nelson 23 Nov 1812 or 1892, Nancy B. Nelson B. 27 May 1881, David Frits B. 9 Jan 1886 D. 11 Jan 1886. I also have a few 4th-6th cousins through DNA that show a Nelson link, but I have been unable to pinpoint exactly how that particular cousin and me are related via the Nelson line (maybe we are connected in another way). Both cousins show a relation to Emmanuel Nelson B.1776 in (NC) - D.1866 in (KY) and spouse Francis Farmer B.1770 in (VA) - 1848 in (KY). I just can't find my ancestor in that tree! Iâve tried alternate spelling for his name as well as some of the other names, I searched other websites, and talked to every family member I could, and posted on the ancestry boards. Iâm pretty much at a loss now. The two possible leads I found are: 1870 Census from Leebanon, Sharp, Arkansas, but some of the names and dates donât quite match. 1880 Johnson, Union Co. AR C Nelson Self M 28 AR Kate Nelson Wife F 25 AR Laura Nelson Dau F 4 AR Lillian Nelson Dau F 2 AR Iâm kinda doubtful about these two. I just donât know how to progress from here. Thanks in advance for any help. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
